Rehearsal Dinner Questions

[Deleted]

Future MIL made reservations for our rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding and told us that anyone who is in town that night would be invited. My question is how to go about inviting people- do I send an invitation or just use word of mouth?


Also I want to wear a tulle skirt so if anyone can find one I'd be very thankful! So far I've only seen one at anthro.

Thanks as always!

She should send out invites if she is hosting.

If she won't, you should. She doesn't need a headcount?

We did invitations. They were pretty simple, like printed off our computer.

My SIL is getting married in October and she just did an evite for the rehearsal dinner the night before.

My MIL sent out invitations. I provided her with a list of people/addresses from our side of the family.

DAMMIT!!!

I totally didn't think about the rehearsal dinner.

My IL's hosted ours and we just invited family that we knew were coming from out of town and we just let them know via phone call or email what the details were.

SO and I are going to make a list of people who will probably be in town that night- that way she'll have an idea.

This is usually the responsibility of the groom's parents. Is there some reason they are not hosting?

Since my ILs were hosting, we just gave them names of people and they took care of inviting everyone.

I would do a cheap invitation - pick up a pack at Target. My IL's hosted it and I went over the list of people with her that she wanted to invite. I went ahead and did the invitations for her and addressed them as if she had done them herself. Everyone just had to let her know if they were coming or not.

But really, we had it catered and I took care of all of that (with their input). They just handed over a check to me. It was easier for everyone that way since they lived 4 hours away from where the wedding was and I was local.

My inlaws did a casual photo invitation- like one you'd send for Christmas cards. They were cute.

There are a lot of adult tulle skirts on etsy:

My MIL did invites. I think Shabby Apple has a tulle skirt.


ETA: Actually, SA has like eight. Including one that I quite like called Blushing Bride.

The only RD I've been invited to I got a paper invite.

MIL sent out evites after I provided her with email addresses.

Oh boo. Not in my size.

All I want is to look like a ballerina! Why is that so hard?

[Booze Raccoon]

My MIL mailed out invitations.
I have also received them for weddings I've been in and traveled to.

Boo! This one would also be so pretty on you. I think H&M had a similar tulle skirt a season or two ago.
