Rehearsal Dinnerr

The rehearsal dinner is really all up to you. I would suggest inviting them to the dinner if they are invited to the wedding as they are the person`s significant other.

Via "etiquette" is YES!

Or, in my parent`s case, it was just supposed to be for the hotel guests, not the "motherload!"

If you don`t want to be taken advantage of, the GROOM`S PARENTS PAY FOR THE REHERSAL DINNER, NOT THE BRIDE`S!

Good luck in your endeavors.

I would invite your bridal parties significant others. If money is an issue than read on.
We are having a lot of out-of-town guests come to our wedding. Since these guests are relatives that are traveling a great distance to come to the wedding we want to invite them to the rehersal dinner. A large rehersal dinner can get quite expensive so we are just having a get together / open house (barbeque style or looking at the price of a caterer) at my parents house. I see no reason why you have to have two expensive formal dinners. Doing this type of rehersal dinner may also make you feel a little bit more relaxed and at ease the evening before your wedding.
