Wedding Rehearsal Invitations

Are these necessary? Can they be sent via text instead of mailed? We did STDs via text, I assume this can be sent out the same way?

    Rehearsal/rehearsal dinner invites can for sure be sent by text! I don't think you need any kind of formal invitation for it. Just be sure you include all the details (time, place, etc).

    Thanks Lisa! I was considering one of these styles. Also, does the dinner ‘have’ to be at a restaurant? Can we do a bbq at the house instead?Wedding Rehearsal Invitations 1

    Those are fun! You could certainly send one of those as your rehearsal invites. The rehearsal dinner can be as fancy or as casual as you'd like! It could be anything from a BBQ in someone's backyard, to a pizza buffet at a local sports bar, to a plated dinner at a fancier restaurant, etc. Totally up to you and what you're looking for.

    Thanks! Question, the rehearsal dinner does include aunts & uncles as well or only the bridal party? I always get confused with this.

    Usually just those who participate in the rehearsal/ceremony: wedding party, immediate family, readers (if you have anyone doing a reading during the ceremony), flower girl/ring bearer, ushers, officiant, and anyone walking down the aisle (grandparents, parents, etc). However, if you really wanted to include aunts/uncles too, you could do that. Sometimes, people also include out of town guests for the rehearsal dinner, or people might combine the rehearsal dinner with a welcome party if they have a lot of out of town guests or are doing a destination wedding, but those are totally optional.

    Thank you! All of her family are coming from out of town except her sister. We’ll more than likely include them in the dinner. However, I am going to find a place that can accommodate us all. We might have to do the bbq though. I’ll look into it. Thanks a lot Lisa!

    Every rehearsal and dinner we have attended together or separately have been by word of mouth.

    Word of mouth could work. Some of our people are just so forgetful.

    In that case, a text or email is fine. Generally people will write down the info as you tell them.

    Test or email/evite is totally fine! You can serve whatever food you like and have it wherever you want, as long as you're hosting it. The idea is to thank those that came to the rehearsal.
