How do I send rehearsal dinner invitations online?

Choose a rehearsal dinner invitation design, personalize the wording, colors, and photos, then import your guest list from a spreadsheet or your email contacts. Add the venue details and any RSVP questions you need, like meal choices, then send by email, text message, or sharable link. Greenvelope tracks every RSVP in real time and can send automatic reminders before your reply-by date.

What details should I include on rehearsal dinner invitations?

Include who is hosting, the date and time, the venue and its address, the dress code, and how and when to RSVP. Because the guest list is smaller than the wedding, make it clear who is invited, whether that's the wedding party and immediate family or all of your out-of-town guests. A Greenvelope invitation keeps these important details in one place, with Google Maps and calendar links built in.

Can I collect meal choices for the rehearsal dinner?

Yes. Greenvelope's RSVP tracking collects meal preferences, dietary notes like food allergies, and any custom question you add, from entree pre-orders for the restaurant to arrival times. Responses are organized alongside your guest list, and headcounts update in real time as replies come in.

Can I add the venue map and dress code to the invitation?

Yes. Your Greenvelope invitation can include the venue with Google Maps integration, calendar links, the dress code, and any other details guests need for the night before the wedding. Everything lives on the invitation, so nobody has to text you for the address.

Do rehearsal dinner invitations need to match the wedding stationery?

They don't have to match exactly, but most couples coordinate them. Echoing your wedding stationery suite through similar colors, typography, or a shared motif makes the whole wedding weekend feel cohesive, while a slightly more relaxed design signals the dinner's tone. Greenvelope makes it easy to pair your rehearsal dinner invitation with coordinating wedding invitations and save the dates.

When should we send rehearsal dinner invitations?

Most hosts send rehearsal dinner invitations 4 to 6 weeks before the dinner, once the wedding invitations have gone out and guests know the weekend plan. Digital invitations arrive the moment you send them, so you can schedule your Greenvelope mailing for the exact date you want and let automatic RSVP reminders handle the follow-up.

Is Greenvelope a good Evite alternative for rehearsal dinners?

Yes. Hosts comparing Evite alternatives for a rehearsal dinner usually weigh the guest experience, the RSVP tools, and the pricing model. Greenvelope invitations open as an animated envelope with background music and stay ad-free for you and your guests, RSVP tracking collects meal preferences and custom question answers, and each mailing is a flat one-time price set by guest count, with no subscription required. Designs from over 150 independent designers span formal to casual, so you can match the invitation to the evening you are hosting.

How much do digital rehearsal dinner invitations cost?

Each single mailing is a flat one-time price starting at $19, set by your guest count, with no subscription required and no per-guest charges. If you plan to send several mailings for the wedding weekend, like save the dates, invitations, and the rehearsal dinner, annual memberships are also available.

How does Greenvelope calculate people?

Each person (with or without email) added to the mailing list counts as (1) person. For example, "The Smith Family" of John, Jill, Tim, and Lauren would count as (4) people.

What if I am unsure how many people I need?

In this case, we recommend purchasing a smaller package initially. You can then easily purchase additional people from within your mailing on an as needed basis.

Can I send in multiple batches?

Greenvelope allows you to resend invitations or send invitations to new contacts at any time.

What if I need multiple versions of my card?

The best way to set this up would be to have two different mailings. You will need to purchase a separate "single mailing" package for each version.

Do you offer RSVP tracking?

Yes! Greenvelope's robust RSVP tracking makes planning effortless. You can collect RSVPs, track plus ones, gather meal selections, send RSVP reminders, set up seating charts, and more.

Can I also send my invitations via text message?

In addition to email, you can send your Greenvelope invitations and cards via SMS text message (in supported countries), WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, or a sharable link.

Do you offer digital thank you notes or save the dates?

Yes, in addition to our digital invitations and RSVP tracking, Greenvelope offers both save the dates and thank you notes. Each mailing type provides easy-to-use features, such as address collection on save the dates and individual customization for thank you notes.

What if I need to update my invitation after I've sent it?

You can do that! One of the many benefits of digital invitations is that you can add additional information, update your card, or quickly follow-up with guests with ease.

Can I send a sample to myself?

Yes! When you arrive at the 'Send' step after designing your mailing, your account information will automatically be added so you can easily send yourself a test and make sure everything looks exactly how you want it.

Our Help Center is always available to help guide you through the process and answer common questions. If you have additional questions, our in-house customer support team is available 7:30 AM - 5:00 PM PDT Monday - Thursday and 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM PDT Friday via support@greenvelope.com or 1-888-737-5635.
