We're doing the Invites - DIY, otherwise, it would have been word of mouth.

Re: rehearsal dinner--invites or word of mouth?

I'd say invites...it just helps to avoid people showing up late or not showing up at all. (People were still late to ours even though we sent invites, but at least I was positive that they knew what time they were supposed to be there)

Re: rehearsal dinner--invites or word of mouth?

It really depends on your family, etc

if you want to save money maybe just have postcards printed up on vistaprint..even the stamp will be cheaper..

or maybe an evite??

Re: rehearsal dinner--invites or word of mouth?

We did invitations so there wasn't any confusion. Plus, they came out nice (bought the cards and printed them on the computer)

Re: rehearsal dinner--invites or word of mouth?

My Bridal Party is always missing things or late - I don't want to have to call them a million times to remind them - so definitely invites!

Re: rehearsal dinner--invites or word of mouth?

We did invites. But I didn't have time to create something from scratch, so I used ones that you write the information in on.
