The rehearsal dinner before the wedding is often a reunion of sorts. Plan it so it goes smoothly, and your attendees can enjoy the company and anticipation.

The rehearsal dinner is an optional wedding event. Before World War II, it was uncommon, and the "tradition" of having the groom's parents act as hosts is even more recent. If a groom’s parents wish to skip it entirely, they would be committing no error.
When it comes to rehearsal dinners, the simplest approach is to be practical. It is perfectly acceptable for the bride and groom to invite their wedding party and immediate family by word of mouth, following whatever instructions you, the hosts, give them. It is also perfectly acceptable to send written invitations. The larger and more formal the rehearsal dinner, the more likely that invitations will be sent.
Wondering if there are rules to writing an appropriate invitation to a rehearsal dinner? Well, not surprisingly, there are. The challenge is determining which rules are applicable to a specific situation.
