Rehearsal Dinner?

I think that’d be nice to ! But I understand if you’re on a budget and can’t accommodate that many extra guests it’s ok

I did, unless you're on a tight budget I probably would as it's a nice gesture

Yes. Significant others are part of a pair and should always be invited.

I think you're expected to do so

I'm pretty positive you would want your significant other with you if you attended someone else's rehearsal dinner, so I think the answer is definitely yes here.

Yes, 100%. I wouldn't attend a rehearsal dinner if my husband wasn't also invited.

Yes, definitely

Our wedding party's spouses will also be invited to the rehearsal dinner.

I did, but was thinking of just the wedding party for a while. If your budget permits, it’s a nice thing to do.


I don’t mind at all going to a rehearsal and dinner by myself without my FI. For me it’s whatever the bride wants!

I am inviting significant others to the rehearsal dinner. Luckily for us our wedding party already consists of some couples. There's only 2 or 3 extra people that I would need to invite. I definitely think you should include them, especially if anyone from your wedding party is traveling from out of town.

We’re inviting significant others as well.

Yes please always included SO. It sucks getting dragged to a wedding and then not being invited with your SO.

View Quoted Comment This is just the rehearsal dinner!

View Quoted Comment I definitely want to, but our wedding party is already 20 people so adding 20 more just for a rehearsal dinner is kind of silly.

View Quoted Comment Thank you! My MIL is paying for the rehearsal dinner and she was insisting that we invite significant others, but the wedding party is already 20 people in itself and I don’t want her spending a ridiculous amount on one dinner ya’ know.

View Quoted Comment Not even for a family member or your best friend? A rehearsal dinner is only a few hours, I think people could manage to be away from their significant others for that long.

View Quoted Comment Yes, but our wedding party is already 20 people, do you think 40 people, plus parents and grandparents would be too much?

View Quoted Comment That’s what my MIL was saying since she is planning and paying for the rehearsal dinner, but the wedding party is already 20 people so I think it would be fine if we opted out from inviting significant others.

View Quoted Comment My MIL is paying for it. We have 20 people in our wedding party, so it’s already a little pricey and I just don’t want to have her spend a ridiculous amount on one dinner.

View Quoted Comment They are part of a pair, but can also spend a dinner apart. We have 20 people in the wedding party itself, all of the significant others will be at the wedding, so I think it would be fine if we just kept the rehearsal dinner to the wedding party, more intimate.
