Facebook Group for Rehearsal Dinner?

Elizabeth, on October 28, 2019 at 10:41 AM Posted in Planning 0 13

Genuinely want people's opinions on this! I am considering creating a Facebook event for our rehearsal dinner. That way all the information is in one place and no one can tell me they were confused or didn't know certain details. Those invited will include our parents, siblings, bridal party and significant others, and grandparents (who will get a phone call). Is this tacky? We already sent out our wedding invitations and details were not finalized for the rehearsal dinner at that time. I just feel like sending out more invites is too much, plus people are having a hard enough time RSVPing to the actual wedding. Please tell me your thoughts, or other ideas!

    Can you do an evite? I’ve seen that a lot for rehearsal dinners recently. I personally haven’t had a Facebook for 7 years so it wouldn’t work for me but you know your crowd best. I’ve heard people say Facebook can be too casual.

    I agree with PP, it is a know your crowd type of situation! If they are all active on Facebook, I don't see a problem with it! We're probably going to text or call people individually in case anyone has questions, but our group isn't huge. Good luck! Smiley smile

    I use Facebook all the time so if someone did this I would be fine with it. The last wedding I was in that is what they did and sent out a group message for inviting and RSVPing for the rehearsal. I personally don't see anything wrong with that. It makes it easier for the couple planning the rehearsal and if a person invited needs to check the information they can simply go to the page and look at it!

    I don't see an issue with using FB if your invitees are active on it. I'm personally not one for pomp and circumstance, so the casualness of that works just fine for me. But as PP said, its a know your crowd thing.

    I don’t see a problem with it. As long as all of your rehearsal party has a Facebook account you should be fine

    I don’t think it’s tacky. All of our bridal party and immediate family is on Facebook, so this is exactly what we did for our rehearsal dinner.

    I think it's totally fine for a rehearsal dinner. Just be sure to pass the word along if somebody isn't on there.

    I created one for my wedding. It was a huge hit. People liked being kept updated on what was going on

    I think it's fine if all your guests have Facebooks & use it regularly. For us, not all have Facebooks so we included an invite with our wedding invites.

    We used emails - or, more specifically, DH used email, because his parents hosted it, and he had all the details.

    Know your crowd, know the formality of your event, and go from there.

    This is exactly what we did. I didn't see a point to invitations because it was just our parents, bridal party, the significant others, my grandparents and the parents of the kids in the bridal party. Having the Facebook group allowed me to give all the details to everyone in a simple way.
