wedding rehearsal dinner help

As mother of the groom I am planning the wedding rehearsal dinner. I have no idea what is customary and I need help.

This is what I have found out so far:

dinner takes place right after rehearsal at a chosen spot: home, restaurant etc and usually night before wedding

invites should go out about 2 weeks-1 month prior

toasts are given as dinner begins

Now my questions are:

what am I missing?

I read somewhere about gifts being given to attendants. Who is generally responsible for these?

are table decorations usually customary? name placecards?

I am planning on having dinner at a restaurant. Does everyone just order what they want? what about alcohol & dessert?

who is generally invited?

I know there must be more things that I don't even know enough about to ask the right questions.

any and all help and advice is very welcome.
