Rehersal Dinner...Out-of-Towners?

Are you inviting your oot guests to the RD?

Yes - although I don't think this is something you HAVE to do, most of our out-of-towners are coming from far away and don't travel much (b/c of money issues), so we want to do something special for them.

Yes, the ones that are staying overnight

We are only inviting out of town family members.

RD would be out of control if I invited our friends who are traveling. We will probably meet up with them after dinner for drinks or something.

Oh G*d...I didn't even think of OOT friends...I was only thinking of OOT family.


Here's another question...

Say you have a family with the parents and five children (all grownup)

One of the parents is a part of the bridal party (a reader) so they get invited to the RD

2 of their kids are OOT guests so they get invited to the RD.

Do I invite the other three 'kids' to the RD? I feel bad when 1/2 of their family is invited and they aren't.

That's a tough one...since they are all grown, can't they just hang out with the other children who are not OOT guests. I personally would only invite the parents. If push came to shove, would invite the OOT kids.

We will although I dont think most of our OOT guests will be in town until the day of the wedding....no one is traveling from THAT far so I dont anticipate them coming in the day before

we are just inviting the grandparents, bridal party and dates and parents/siblings. His whole family is from out of town so it would be just too many people

We are! But 50% of the people invited are OOT so who knows how many we will have.

We did invite out of towners but we also had our rehearsal a couple of days before the wedding - we wanted a more intimate dinner without insulting or leaving anyone out.

My rehearsal dinner is two days before the wedding so no. If my RD was the night before I would though !!

No....we cannot afford more than 20. They'll make do without seeing us the night before
