Rehersal Dinner - Ok to have guests pay for themselves?

Rehearsal dinners don't have to be fancy. Most in my area are cookouts or pizza. If you have a require people to be at the rehearsal then you need to feed them. I know someone that did a taco night and one did grilled cheese and soup.

Oh, come on. You can't have a rehearsal and then part ways. There are so many inexpensive options. You should smack yourself for not thinking of them. Even if you have 20 honor attendants, four parents, the couple, and a few strays, 10 or 11 pizzas, a big salad, and a ten bottles of soda should do the trick. Surely you must have $300 you can pull together by June, 2016. How about going to Sam's Club and picking up 15 frozen entrees and apps? You can add a few desserts and powdered drink mix. You don't have to have alcohol (but if you do, a box of wine is fine). Do it at someone's house and call it an early night. OR...don't have a rehearsal. Either way, you cannot ask anyone to pay for your RD. Actually, you can't ask anyone to pay to attend anything related to your wedding.

Hell to the no, majorly tacky and rude.

You need to provide food. It can be simple and cheap, but you need to give them dinner. Paying for a fancy dinner isn't required. Just take everyone to a cheap restaurant or even go back to someones house and have a cookout.

Do pizza at your place, parents and BP only.

If you don't have a rehearsal (which you don't need in the first place), you don't have to have a rehearsal dinner. If you want to have a rehearsal, you need to feed at least those people in the rehearsal, although it can be as simple as pizza and sodas.

You can also host a rehearsal breakfast, brunch or lunch which tend to be way cheaper than hosting a dinner.
