Re: who goes...

We are keeping it to immediate family (stopping at grandparents) and those in the wedding. We will only have about 25 people.

We are doing a Sunday brunch, though, for all members of the families.

Re: who goes...

Id think the bp and immediate family.

Some people invite oot guests but that really can be expensive

Re: who goes...

It's whoever you want there... usually its immediate family then BP members I think.

We are not even sure we're doing one, we may just have a dinner for OOT guests and BP...

I am not even thinking about that because FIL usually have to pay for it and I have none..

Re: who goes...

I know of a lot of people doing their RH with their immediate family and their OOT guests only.

Re: who goes...

We're inviting bp and their guests, immediate family, and the church readers

Thanks ladies!! I went to a rehearsal dinner where she invited all her guests who were staying at the hotel the night it took place...I wasn't sure if I had to do the same...

Re: who goes...

This is one topic causing me a little stress...FMIL is taking care of it so I can't complain, but it looks like it will be immediate families, bridal party and their significant others, ANDDD the out of town guests which makes it over 50 people I was hoping for something much smaller but I know it's what she wants, so I'll go with it.

Re: who goes...

I was really confused on this but I'm pretty sure the bridal party and their significant others and both sets of parents etc. I think everyone could really invite whomever they want depending on $..but also FH was in a weddignn 2 years ago and I wasn't invited to the RD, but I guess everyone does it differently.

my FSIL's RD was actually about 50 ppl b/c it included all OOT guests bc her mother didn't want them having to figure out where to go the night before. FMIL is doing the same for us and she already guaranteed 50 people for ours - it's a bit much but she wants to do it for their guests. i cant say no

Re: who goes...

For us everyone is the BP + their S.O., parents & FH's sis (just because they are really close) I just did our list the other night 31 people.

I keep trying to figure the best option..cater it in (not that our place is that big) or just pay to do it somewhere else. Our rehersal is 3 days before the wedding..hate to shell out a lot before than

Re: who goes...

Parents, readers, BP, grandparents and then all significant others.

I literally came to ask this exact question. I don't know if I should be inviting the DH of my bridal party.
