Whom to invite for the Rehearsal Dinner?

Question:

Who is invited to the Rehearsal dinner according to proper etiquette? Are all guests and the vendors invited too?

Answer:

Traditionally, only those who are actually required to participate in the rehearsal i.e. everyone who has any role to play in the Wedding Ceremony, are invited. This will include the Bride and Groom, their parents, the Officiant, the Wedding party including kids if they are attendants and the readers. Naturally, their spouses/dates will have to be invited as well.

Apart from them, you may, if you wish, extend the guest list to include close relatives and friends and out of town guests.
