Default rehearsal dinner invites

how do I word rehearsal dinner invites. My FI's parents are hosting, but I am sending out a little card to invite the people who need to be there. We are having an official church rehearsal and then a fun mexican fiesta dinner at a great place in Napa.

Any ideas?

are you looking for something casual and fun or more formal wording?

I would do something like:

"The grooms parents, Mr. & Mrs. Groom, host a fiesta style rehearsal dinner at the Fantastic Napa Restaurant, such and such date & time. Please join us in the pre-wedding festivities."

I guess the question is are you inviting everyone who's invited to the wedding to the RD or just a select group of people? If it's everyone then I would add a separate card (as seen above) into the invite. If however you are having a small RD with just family and the wedding party then I actually like the idea of doing a a separate invite... just to keep things simple when stuffing envelopes!

What do you all think of this wording for the invites?

Before they can walk down the aisle
Christine
&
Will
must first practice their wedding waltz

Please join us for the wedding rehearsal
St. John’s Lutheran Church

Then on a little insert card I will include the following

Don & Terri Hull
invite you to a fiesta
at Compadres Mexican Grill
