Question

Should the whole family of the god parents of the groom to be invited to the reheresal dinner.

Answer 1

The only people who HAVE to be at the rehearsal dinner are both sets of parents and the people in the wedding plus their dates.

Everyone else is just extra.  Unless the God Parents are in the wedding they do not need to be invited.  If they are coming out of town- it is the polite thing to do.

Answer 2

If they are from out of town and have traveled, yes, otherwise its only immediate family, bridal party and out of town guests.  

Answer 3

The only people who need to be invited to the dinner are the people required to be at the rehearsal and your immediate families - bridal party, parents and grandparents, siblings, friends that are singing or doing readings, flower girl/ring bearer and their parents. Plus everyone's significant other.

If the godparents have no role in the rehearsal, then you don't need to invite them to the dinner. Some people choose to invite out-of-town guests to the dinner as well - and while it's a nice gesture, it's certainly not mandatory.  

Answer 4

No there is no reason for it, unless they are married, than you would invite there significant other.

Answer 5

The rehearsal dinner is a time of joy, with parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins from both sides of this new family tree gathering for the first time!

The couple may also wish to include out of town guest in the rehearsal dinner in order to thank them for making the trip to be with them on their wedding day. While including out of town guests is a wonderful gesture, it is important to understand that the couple is not obligated to do so. If it would be too financially cumbersome to include all of the out of town guests, the couple could consider hosting a smaller event such as an evening of drinks and appetizers for this larger group.

Although everyone participating in the ceremony should be included in the rehearsal dinner the guest list is not restricted to these individuals and the couple can choose to include anyone they wish.
