Who pays for that? Do my fiance and I pay for everyone (about 10-12 people including wedding party(WP) and parents. plus WP kids) or does the WP pay for their own food, and we just give the gifts?

Usually the brides parents pay for just the wedding party. Because it's tough to exclude kids etc, it's best to have a buffet style dinner. These days though it's popular to have the parents and the couple cover the costs. I have never known the WP having to pay, as they are basically coming to your event for your purpose.
I have been to some buffets in restaurants, and to some in just a rented room or hall. Some in the parent's house...whatever fits your budget and ability.

The wedding party never pays for dinner after the rehearsal. Usually the groom's parents host the event.

The wedding party shouldn't have to pay for their own dinner. Hopefully you and your fiance will be able to afford it. Remeber nothing has to be to much for your purse to handle. Every thing can be done affordably but tastefuly. Your gifts you give do not have to be overly expensive gifts just heartfelt. The dinner does not have to be prime rib or lobster either. Your dinner guests can purchase their own alcoholic beverages so you don't have to have that expense. Good luck on your up coming wedding and many happy and healthy years with each other.

Traditionally, it is the Grooms Parents that pay for the rehearsal dinner. Additionally, each member of the wedding party should attend /w their guest for the wedding. It is also tradition that any out of town guests traveling to the wedding receive and invitation to the rehearsal dinner as well.
Congratulations

Traditionally the grooms side pays for the rehearsal dinner, but it will be their choice about who gets invited and their budget.... It is also their right to not pay for it....it is not required for them to pay. If you and your fiance are hosting it and not the parents-of-the-groom...then it is your obligation to pay. The guests should not be expected to chip in. And you don't have to have something fancy...all depends on your budget. My sister's rehearsal dinner was a pizza party and everyone had a great time

Typically the bride handles the wedding and the groom's parents pay for the rehearsal dinner. Regardless who pays, you must pay for everyone attending...not a select few.

Traditionally the groom's family hosts [to host means to pay for] the rehearsal dinner, while the bride's family hosts the wedding reception.
If you and your fiance are paying, then you pay for everyone.
The wedding party and their children pay nothing.
