One of the most important elements of a wedding is the invitation. Invitations are keep sakes people treasure the remainder of their lives. They also set the stage for the wedding by giving invited guests a feel for the overall class and production of the occasion. Just as the rehearsal dinner is a big part of the wedding, the rehearsal dinner invitations can be just as important as the wedding invitations when it comes to giving a positive impression on the event. 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. Those who have a role in the wedding are invited. This includes the parents of the bride and groom, as well as the bridal party, and any other family and friends who the bride and groom think should attend. Don’t forget the priest, minister or official who oversees the ceremony. This is a smaller list than the wedding invitation list as it only covers people who actually have a role.
The design and printing of these invitations is important. Often the same artist who designs the wedding invitations designs these. It’s probably the best way. It’s a lot easier to deal with one vendor. Also important is a consistent design. The design remains the same, or can be a kind of riff on the main wedding invitation design, if the same artist or designer is involved with both. And don’t forget the possibility of saving money. The vendor may offer a discount if all the work is given to them. This dinner, though, is usually planned and executed by the groom’s parents. Letting them oversee a new design might make them happier. 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 almost like a free throw in basketball. 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.
