Who do you invite to the rehearsal dinner?

I plan to invite the bridal party, POB, POG, and any OOT that decide to come into town early. But do you invite readers, and grandparents?

Re: Who do you invite to the rehearsal dinner?

i think you have to invite everyone involved in the ceremony, including readers. i would also invite close immediate family - parents, siblings and grandparents. we are also inviting aunts, uncles, and first cousins, but that's because we don't have too many.

i don't think you necessarily need to invite out-of-towners if you don't want to.

this is exactly what we did. no OOT-too many coming to the wedding.
