What’s the difference? Or is it a wedding breakfast?
The difference is... not much for LDS people. Since we don’t have a real need for a rehearsal dinner, the event has become a gathering of the intimate family of the bride and groom. (Possibly including other VIP guests to the wedding or people in the wedding party) So do you have to have both? No! They are basically one in the same as far as our culture dictates.
What if my wedding is in the afternoon, not the morning? (Gasp!) Then you can have a post wedding dinner. That is, assuming, you aren’t having a dinner reception. Cause that might be overkill.
Is one or the other more culturally expected in your area? Than go with that one. Otherwise, choose what works best for you. I personally had a post wedding brunch and then still invited the families together to my parents’ house the night before the wedding, because I couldn’t stand to be away from my smoopsie-poo for one extra second. But do what works for you. You don’t have to do both. You don’t have to do either. It’s up to what you want, what you a can budget for and what you can handle.
By the way, here’s an interesting article on Wikipedia about wedding breakfasts, which is what we often call the post wedding brunch.
