Rehearsal Dinner hostess and sending invitations???Help?
Ok, so my Fiance’s parents are paying for our rehearsal dinner, my Fiance and I are planning the entire dinner. I was planning on sending out the invites for the dinner.
In this situation would my Future-in-laws send out the invites, Is it OK for me to do so?? How would I word that?
Rehearsal dinner invites I saw online, said stuff like, "To honor the bride and groom" – I think that would be weird telling people to Honor us??

Anything goes just do it graciously! I would say "join us to celebrate our or such and such’s rehearsal dinner" or something like that. You can send it out and have people RSVP to you, just make sure you put a hosted line on there so no one feels shafted.
Congrats!
The rehearsal dinner invitations are on a separate small paper in with the wedding.
Usually all out of town guests and the entire bridal party are included in the event.
Just keep it simple. Please join us at the rehearsal at 6:60pm Thursday evening at McDonald’s on Mayor McCheese Ave.
These are some wording ideas (just select "Wedding" and then select "Rehearsal Dinner"): http://www.bjoyfulinvitations.cceasy.com/Verses_Verses.cfm?SR=1&strTop=CarlsonCraft_FrontNav.cfm
Hi. We sent out invitations for my son’s rehearsal dinner. They were very informal. I typed them up on nice paper like this:

YES, I think these should come from your future in-laws. They are the ones hosting and paying. YES, we did use the wording of "honor." I can’t remember exactly, but it was something like this (fictitious names used):
Brian and Sarah Johnson
invite you to the rehearsal dinner honoring
Missy Smith and Tyler Johnson
Friday evening, July 17, 2009
immediately following the church rehearsal.
The dinner will be held at their home:
111 S. Main Street
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida
My future mother-in-law is sending out our rehearsal dinner invitations this week! I gave her all the addresses and helped choose the menu, but she’s hosting and doing the majority of the planning. She chose the invitations and mailed them.
You send them — as in you do the work, but you send them on behalf of your future mother-in-law. The style of the invitation indicates how formal the dinner is to be. If it is formal, then the invitation should read
Mr and Mrs Fiances Parents
request the pleasure of the company of
Miss Bridesmaid
to dinner
following the wedding rehearsal on (rehearsal date)
at (location)
There is no need to state that the dinner is in honour of you.
If the dinner is informal you would write
"Dear Bridesmaid,
Mr and Mrs Groomsparents have offered to have us all to dinner when the rehearsal is over on (date); and are hoping that you will be able to come. The dinner will be at (location).
Yours truly "
Since you’re not hosting the dinner your name shouldn’t be on the invites.
I believe you can address and mail them, your names just can’t be as "hosts."
That said you don’t need to use the terms "honor the bride and groom" you could use, "to celebrate their upcoming nuptials," or something similar.
Send out the invites, but word the invitations so that your guests know your Future-In-Laws are hosting. Word it as so: Mr. and Mrs. Future-In-Laws invite you the Rehearsal Dinner for the wedding of Miss. You and Mr. Your Fiance, at Time on Date at Place.
Review this with your in-laws and see if they deem it acceptable, and to make sure they aren’t already sending out invites.
