    I'm just trying to get an idea of the number of people we will have at our rehearsal dinner and didn't know if we needed to invited the readers?? Does anyone know the protocol on this?

    We had the readers practice at the rehearsal.  Also, don't forget the families of the flowergirl(s) and ringbearer(s).

    I did get them, thanks!! It seems like there will be so many more people there than I (for some reason) had in my head!

    Your readers will need to be at the rehersal, so it seems that they should be at the rehersal dinner also.

    OK thanks, I was referring to both the rehearsal and dinner but I should have been more clear!

    Haha, it is always more people. I think Catholic rehearsal dinners tend to be bigger. That's just my guess though, I've never been to a non-Catholic one! There are just a lot of moving parts.

    Thank you for this post!  My mother thought I was nuts for wanting to invite the readers but I want to make sure they know what they are doing, only one reader attends the same church as I do.  the others are Catholic just live in different parts of the state and therefore go to a different church.  I started to second guess myself wanting them there.

    If it helps, I was a reader at a wedding recently, and I was at the rehearsal (and rehearsal dinner, which was very nice!), and it seemed like a really good idea. I didn't actually do the reading, but it was very helpful to do a walk through - you're sitting here, then you walk this way, stand here, read, sit back down. I would have been really nervous trying to figure that out on the day, and heavens forbid I screw it up and mess up someone's wedding!
