We had our immediate families (parents and siblings), plus our priest, our readers, gift bearers, and bp (with guests if dating/married). I think the total was 22 people (including ourselves).

We're inviting all bp with guests, parents, grandparents, readers and all oot guests. My fil's are paying..but they were surprised by our long guest list.
IMO, these oot guests are flying or driving pretty far and staying in a hotel and spending mucho dinero on coming to my wedding!! The least I could do is give them dinner and something fun to do the night before!
ETA: It should be about 80 people!!
i think it is appropriate to invite OOT guests. Luckily for us we're doing our RD 2 nights before and not the night before. I just personally want to relax the night before so thats why. Don't know we'll have that many OOT guests already here on thursday but a few from florida MIGHT, so if they are here we are inviting them

Re: Spinnoff to Rehearsal Dinner... who's coming?
How many people are you inviting and who??? @ 32-35 people
My parents, my sisters (Jr BM and Flowergirl) FH's Mom and step dad FH's dad FH and I = 9
Just people in the BP?=14 14 Bridal Party members
Them with a guest? = 4 people If they are a long term or engaged, married etc... then yes with a guest. However all of our BP know eachother and are friends,. so no one will be lonely.
Grandparents? Yes both sides = 3 people
People doing a reading? = 2 Yes, one is the wife of a GM so she is invited, 2nd reader is a cousin of FH (no guest for her, but Fh family will be there)
Also inviting, = 5 FH's Godmother My mom's 2 brothers and their wives. One of the brothers is my Godfather and doing my Father / daughter dance.
Who's paying for it? *hopefully* FMIL

Most of my BP is oot too so we had no choice but to do it the night before!! But we're having barbeque at 300 Long Island...a swanky bowling alley...so it should be relaxed and fun!!
