Wedding Rehearsal Dinner: Rehearsal Dinner Invitation Wording
for Military Couple?   Our son is a lieutenant colonel in the
Air Force and is marrying a girl who's a lieutenant in the Navy.
Do we use their military rank when wording the rehearsal dinner
invitation, or do we just say "David and Tara"?   There's no
official military rule that says you should include your son's
and future daughter-in-law's military rank or service branch on
the rehearsal dinner invites. This is because the rehearsal
dinner invite is considered to be a much more casual party than
the wedding reception; it's not an "official command event" by
the military, so to speak. "Tara and David" will work just fine.
That said, the military does dictate how a formal wedding
invitation should be worded (which usually means including both
their rank and service branch). So, in their case, the wedding
invitation should read something like this:  Tara Hill US Navy
David Allgood Lieutenant Colonel US Air Force  Hope this helps!
