The party before the party, also known as the rehearsal dinner, is the first impression of the wedding weekend. Not sure who to include? Check out the concepts below:

Family and Friends

The most important people to invite are immediate family and friends (i.e. parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins).

Bridal Party

The bridesmaids and groomsmen practiced perfect in order to have a hefty cocktail in hand. Do not forget to include any of their significant others! It is a genuine gesture to make them feel a part of the festivities.

Out-of-Town Guests

If a majority of your guests are traveling from out-of-town, it might be a warm welcome to host them for dessert afterwards. It is also an opportunity for mixing and mingling too.

Everyone

Or encourage everyone to attend!
