Weddingbee boards

I'm planning on ordering invitations for our rehearsal and rehersal dinner soon and can't decide on the timing. Even though we booked our rehearsal dinner last Spring, we still haven't set a definite start time.  Our wedding coordintor has asked us to schedule the actual rehersal at 4:30pm the evening before our wedding.  Just curious on what time we should start the rehersal dinner. The resturaunt is only about a 5 minute drive away from the church, but I'm not sure if 5:30 is too early (its a very nice ocean front resturant) or if having a "break" between the two would be wierd.  What are your thoughts? 

Also, would it be weird if I also included information for the farewell brunch on the same invitation? We're going to include an invite in our welcome bags, but since 1/2 of our guests are from outside of SoCal, I'm thinking we should let them know earlier.
