Wedding rehearsal invitations sometimes are sent along with wedding rehearsal dinner invitations, as most of the time they fall on the same date. Keep in mind that besides the wedding rehearsal dinner invite, the host of the dinner needs to book and make reservations for a restaurant, preferably somewhere close around the rehearsal location.

Be sure to personally include their names, and let them know the date and time, as well as kindly request them to RSVP by calling you at a number you will provide on the wedding rehearsal invitations.

The host of the rehearsal party is usually the bride and groom’s best mates, which as you can see are the ones who are hosting the wedding rehearsal dinner and are sending out the invites.
