Rub-a-Dub-Dub, Where's the Grub?

You'll invite the wedding party, their significant others, immediate family members, your officiant, and his or her spouse. If you want to extend an invitation to out-of-town guests, they'll surely appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Remember, this is your gig. You are not bound by any sort of wedding covenant to host an elaborate affair, though that's perfectly acceptable. Your rehearsal dinner can be a cookout or a pizza party; it can be a sit-down affair in a nice restaurant or a catered event in your aunt's spacious backyard.

This is the time for you and your bride to present your gifts to your attendants and your mothers (and whomever else you're feeling particularly generous toward).
