reception afterwards.

The wedding rehearsal dinner is a chance for the wedding rehearsal
party to get to know each other better. It is wedding rehearsal
etiquette for the happy couple to thank all the people who have helped them with the planning. It is also an appropriate time to give
bridesmaids and
groomsmen gifts.
The wedding rehearsal is traditionally the realm of the groom's mother, who oversees all the wedding rehearsal dinner planning. If you decide that your budget cannot stretch any further, one casual wedding rehearsal dinner idea is to have a backyard barbecue.
Wedding rehearsal invitations to the rehearsal dinner are sent a few days after you send the wedding invitation. These don't need to be elegant and expensive. Look on the internet for examples of wedding rehearsal invitation wording.
