We have 2 couples and 5 other BP members that are single or dating other people that we know. My FI and I are paying for the RD ourselves and want to have something intimate but wanna do the right thing as well - so my question is.. to invite a guest or not to invite a guest??

Typically rehearsal dinner is for bridal party only - unless they are from out of town - then it is proper to allow them to bring their significant other. Only then. Also, it is proper to invite all out of town guest to dinner. I feel that you should do what you want and what works best for your budget.

We are inviting most of BP with a guest since they are mostly OOT.

I think it's really nice to invite the entire bridal party with a guest. Some may come with a guest and some may not but it's always nice to give them the option.

I actually invited everyone with a guest and the people that were married or engaged came with a guest. Only one of the groomsmen bought his girlfriend and the rest of the Bridal party came alone but I gave them the option.

Honestly I just didn't want anyone to feel left out (I've been there) because they were not engaged or married so I invited everyone with a date.

Happy Planning!!!

I always thought it was w/ a guest, until most recently when I was told my FH wasn't invited b/c they were doing BP only. But ya know what it was fine and I understood where they were coming from.

thank you guys so much! it is so hard to make these decisions and knowing that other brides have been in the same situation really helps- thank you so much!

My stepsister had bridal party only and to be honest I thought it was unfair to not give the option. For mine I will give the option.

We're inviting the BP with guests (and their kids) as well as inviting FH's sisters (with their husband's & kids) who aren't in the BP.

If they are bringing a guest to the wedding I would invite them with that person.
