What is I.C.E.? I.C.E. stands for In Case of Emergency. Hopefully you already know this, and you may already have I.C.E. contacts marked in your phone. As a back up, you should also have a physical card with names and phone numbers. Carry one in your wallet, and keep one with your car registration, if you drive. For kids, consider pinning on in their backpack. Emergencies are by definition unpredictable. By taking a few minutes today, you can prepare yourself, or those caring for you to be able to identify you and contact family members or friends in a time of trouble of need.

The anatomy of any invitation is usually the same, and this will hold true for your Rehearsal Dinner invitations. The main difference is that you may include 2 sets of times and locations. Remember that you can have a theme for your dinner, and it doesn't need to match the wedding. It can formal or casual - see Rehearsal Dinner Basics for some tips and easy theme ideas to throw a great party. When drafting the wording for your invitation, be sure to include: • THE HOSTS' NAMES A wedding rehearsal dinner is usually hosted by the groom’s parents, but it doesn’t have to be. • THE COUPLE'S NAMES Of course!
