Be Creative With Your Rehearsal Dinner Invitations

For a wedding the invitation can be the most important element.  Long after the wedding ends people hold onto the invitations.  The overall production and class of the wedding is also first presented in the invitation.  The rehearsal dinner is an important part of the wedding, so the rehearsal dinner invitations are also a big deal.  Keep in mind too that years later, this invitation will be something the bride will proudly show her children and even their potential spouses.

One element of these invitations is to whom they're sent.  Thankfully it's not complex.  Anyone who has had a hand in making the wedding happen should receive invitations to the rehearsal dinner.  This will be the bridal party, the bride's parents and groom's parents, and other close people the couple to be would like to invite.  Don't forget the priest, minister or official who oversees the ceremony.  Remember, this isn't something for all the wedding guests, but rather for all the people who play a role in the ceremony whether they helped planned it, or will walk the aisle or participate in another way.

The design and printing of these invitations is important.  Often it's the very same company responsible for the wedding invitations.  It's probably the best way.  The fewer service providers with a hand in the wedding the better.  Consistency in look is important too.  The same shop might have great ideas on a pattern to work off the main invitations.  And don't forget the possibility of saving money.  The vendor may offer a discount if all the work is given to them.  However it's the groom's parents who usually oversee the reception dinner.  While the bride and groom will be involved in every aspect of the wedding, the groom's parents may feel more special if they can deal with these invitations outside the parameters of the actual wedding invitations.  A slightly different design might also add some variety and spice to the wedding.

The rehearsal dinner is a big part of the overall experience.  It's sort of a gimme.  It seems pretty mundane, but if handled correctly the rehearsal dinner invitations add an important element to the wedding, while if handled poorly the entire wedding could be ruined.
