I have no idea. His mom is in charge of it, and I'm not sure if I should ask about the invites. I think she is sending some out, but I have no idea what they will look like. I'm trying not to be a bridezilla about it and just let her do what she wants to do. :)
Nope, we're sending them out as well -- either by the end of this week or hopefully by early next! I took over this project, even though FMIL is paying for it. (We've been "in charge" of the RD from the start -- finding the place, securing free [!!!] photography, etc.)
FMIL is taking care of everything for ours, it's at their house. All I cared about was making the invites :)
No rehearsal invites for ours. Life is complicated enough right now without having to worry about another set of invites.
We did invites. I thought it was easier and more convenient for our guests. I handled the inivtes an made the RSVP go to husband's mom. It was important to me to pick out the invites myself ;) and MIL didn't seem to mind.
We included a very obvious insert in the invitations that went to people invited to the RD.
We are doing RD invites, but only because my MOH offered to make them. If she hadn't, we probably wouldn't be doing them. Haha!
I probably would have, but since ours was a destination wedding...I just assumed everyone knew they were invited. It turned out that a couple of people weren't sure if they were invited, but we made sure to make an announcement for everyone to be there!

we sent out rehearsal dinner invites! my sil is also a graphic designer so she was in charge of making them. and she did a fab job! can't wait to see yours mascara.
I didn't do any invites for the rehearsal dinner. I just called the people that were closest to let them know they were invited. My parents have also helped in calling some of our relatives both on my mother and father's side.
MIL Yorkie hosted our RD and sent out invites. She ordered them from Wedding Paper Divas and they were really nice. They went perfectly with the Cuban theme that she chose for the dinner! :o)
I'm not sure if we'll be having a rehearsal dinner. =) So it depends. I think not, because it's going to be just parents, siblings, grandparents, and the wedding party, so word of mouth will do.
I am making RD invites, too, I think that a lot of people will be really confused (like did she really just send me an effing RD invite too?! This girl is crazy). But oh well, when my friends asked me how I did my invites (they were gocco'ed) and I told them that they were screenprinted they looked at me like I was bat-sh*t crazy and had this "WTF" look on their faces. Then I got the whole "you're not screenprinting your programs too?" question. I am a little apprehensive to send these out as I don't want to look like I am trying to hard but I just LOVE making this stuff!
Oh well, I shouldn't care what people think. I want to get mine done tomorrow night so hopefully I will post them with the hive soon.
@tenmylove Your invites were amazing, can't wait to see your RD invites!!

I want to do rehearsal dinner invites but my FMIL didn't think they were necessary... long story short my mom and I hare sending them anyway to just our ppl :-/ It may sound bad, but we aren't inviting a lot of ppl to the rehearsal dinner and my FMIL is only inviting her brothers and their families. We're the side w/ more ppl and that feel the rehearsal dinner is a bigger deal.
I made some, they were super simple, but I figured it would be a nice touch. :)
I just responded on another thread about e-vite wedding invitations, and said I probably wouldn't ever consider it. However, for our rehearsal dinner, we definitely send e-vites, only because everyone attending is very tech-savvy, but we didn't want to bother with yet another mailing with postage to waste paper. So, rather than a regular e-mail, we made it an e-vite. It worked really well, and got the job done, especially since it's a more relaxing event and not a formal sit-down or anything.
You're not crazy! We're doing them too. Most of our guests are out of town, so I wanted to make sure they knew where the pub was and what time we'd like them to be here the day before the wedding.

I DIY'ed some rehearsal invites as well. FMIL wanted to invite some guests in addition to the wedding party, so invites were in order.
I am having a wedding in Santa Barbara and I am from LA. My FI lives in San Francisco and his family is from New York. It's a semi-destination wedding. For all the major travellers from the east coast, we are inviting them to the rehearsal dinner. For the west coasters, it's just immediate family and wedding party. Because of this blurry line, we are doing rehearsal dinner invitations.
This is a good thing because: people need a map to find the restaurant! They need to know the time and the address and my fmil and I cannot field calls from 65+ people on the day of!
I think that the invites are a nice touch. I had professionally made wedding invitations, but the rehearsal dinner, I created a Kinkos. They have great pre-printed paper with designs and things. It's just a matter of making columns to format them well. These invites were informal with a margarita glass on them because it is a Mexican theme.
So go for it! All of your guests will be certain of the time and place if you do it.

I just finished making our rehearsal dinner invites. I know they aren't necessary but I wanted to make them anyways. Did anyone else send out rehearsal dinner invites, or am I the only crazy one?
