Rehearsal dinner invitations - yes or no?

I used evite for that purpose

I am using Paperless Post, similar to Evite. The wedding invitations are very formal but the rehearsal dinner is just going to be immediate family, bridal party and SOs, very casual at a local restaurant. I plan to email out the invite a few weeks after the wedding invite.

I didn’t an invite so much as an insert in the invitation.
I put one in with the bridal party invitations with the date, time, and location. No RSVP option.

Are you doing a large rehearsal? If so invites are good.
A small bridal party only rehearsal probably doesn't need invites

Go with Evites and save $

We did Evites. We are having about 40 people (bridal party, immediate family, and out of town guests).

I don't think it's necessary, but we did them. We invited 75 people (around 60 coming) and had people RSVP by texting me.

A physical invitation isn't necessary unless you're doing a formal dinner. An evite is just fine.

Not a must definitely up to you guys a text to and call is good too

We have only bridal party, spouses, and grandparents coming to ours. We have about 35 people, we are doing word of mouth bc they are all local except one. My FPIL are throwing an out of town brunch the day after the wedding at their house. So we aren't wasting the money one the invites.

I am on the fence about this vs fb messaging everyone about rehearsal dinner. Don’t want anyone thinking it’s an open invite and bring their SO bc ours is strictly wedding party only .

We're not. I have a group chat with my bridesmaids and my FH has one with his groomsmen for coordinating events and details.

Our parents already know about dinner because they helped coordinate it with us. And my FFIL is picking up some out of towners the night before who will also be joining us.

I like having things in writing (because I want to look back at it for reminders about times, directions etc) but it could be an email, evite, paperless post etc for sure

We did ours as an insert card along with our invitations

I use evite for this. I added to our wedding website and because I had a dress code (all white) I made sure to send to each guest a month before. All guest already knew of the all white welcome party but I never send the actual evite until a month before.

We made a facebook event and invited the wedding party/SOs!

I agree with the evites unless you are having a lot of people at the rehearsal.

In most cases, they definitely aren't necessary. We're having a small (25 people) plated dinner at our country club. I'm sending out invitations just because I found one I really like and I'll need people to RSVP with their meal choice.

I'm not doing a rehearsal dinner invite because we're pretty close to everyone attending. We plan on just texting out the information
