Rehearsal dinners are an essential part of the wedding experience, as they provide a special opportunity for the couple and their families to come together before the big day. It’s a time to relax, celebrate, and enjoy each other’s company in a more intimate setting. But why are rehearsal dinners so important?
First and foremost, rehearsal dinners allow everyone involved in the wedding to become better acquainted. With all the chaos that comes with wedding planning, it’s easy for couples and their families to become overwhelmed. Additionally, the rehearsal dinner allows for a final run-through of the wedding ceremony, ensuring that everyone knows their roles and feels confident about the big day. It’s a chance to iron out any last-minute details and ensure a seamless wedding ceremony.

Who to Invite to your Rehearsal Dinner
Immediate Family
This includes parents, siblings, and grandparents. Your rehearsal dinner will be the perfect time for all immediate family members on both sides to get to know each other before the big day!
Wedding Party
Traditionally, it’s best to invite all members of the wedding party and their significant others to your rehearsal dinner. This also includes anyone who has a special part in your ceremony, such as your ushers, flower girl and/or ring bearer and their parents, and your wedding officiant.
Out-of-Town Guests
Inviting any out-of-town guests to your rehearsal dinner is a great way to thank them for making the trip to celebrate your big day! If you have a large number of guests coming from far away, hosting a welcome party in addition to or in place of a rehearsal dinner is also a great option! These are both great ways to kick off the weekend and show appreciation to those who made the journey.
How to Invite Guests to Rehearsal Dinners
While everyone invited to your rehearsal dinner should receive an invite of some kind, this does not have to be anything formal. A simple phone call or invite via email is acceptable, however, you can also include a small insert in your formal wedding invitation as well.

What To Wear To Rehearsal Dinners
The dress code for a rehearsal dinner can typically be a bit more casual than the wedding itself, but still slightly more formal than everyday wear. Be sure to let guests know the attire type prior to the dinner to minimize confusion.
Rehearsal dinner attire options:
Cocktail attire: A nice dress or skirt for women, and dress pants or khakis with a button-down shirt or a collared shirt for men.
Business casual: A well-fitted pair of jeans or trousers with a stylish blouse or dressy top for women, and khakis or dress pants with a polo shirt or dress shirt for men.
Sundress or summer suit: For a more relaxed and informal setting, women can opt for a pretty sundress, while men can wear a light-colored suit without a tie.
Remember to consider the venue, theme, food, and ambiance of the rehearsal dinner when choosing your attire. For instance, a BBQ-themed rehearsal dinner may imply more of a casual attire, while Filet Mignon and Lobster Tail would encourage formal wear.
