There are many options for the rehearsal dinner. At home meals and church fellowship halls are popular for both cost savings and a location of convenience. Many also use local halls and resturants.

Typically the wedding party showed be invited(and dates if you choose), parents of the bride and groom, and parents of any children taking part in your wedding. Some people extend to grandparents of the bride and groom also...That is a personal choice.

Best wishes on your special day!
