No idea where I am having it but I will be inviting the whole bridal party (plus their significant others), whoever is doing the readings, immediate family and out of town guests.

Rehearsal dinner

I'm actually having the rehearsal dinner at my venue since it's convenient; we are getting married at the venue so we will have rehearsal and then have the dinner upstairs so people don't have to drive all over the island lol lol They have a pub room (which used to be the Irish Coffee Pub II) upstairs that I'll be using so it's a little bit of a different atmosphere. I'm inviting the bridal party, readers, and the officiant since he is my uncle lol

Rehearsal dinner

It's not set in stone, but we want to have our rehearsal dinner at FH's favorite restaurant. I don't mind it either haha. It's where he had his first meal when he moved, his last meal before he deployed...etc. So it has a lot of sentimental value. Hopefully it works out!

Rehearsal dinner

Not sure where yet, possibly just at my parents' house. But we will be inviting immediate family, bridal party (with significant others), and readers. Pretty much only anyone involved in the actual rehearsal. About 25 people when all is said and done.

Rehearsal dinner

This is a kind of funny question but is anyone who is not getting married at a church having a rehesrsal? We are getting married on site at our venue (hopefully outdoors at The Vineyards). I don't think you really do a rehesrsal for this right? I have been to rehearsal dinners for people getting married on site; it's really just another excuse to get together and party!

We are getting married at our venue and we are not doing a rehearsal dinner. We have a lot of family from out of state so we are just going a big brunch/lunch gathering of around 60 people at my FH grandma's house

I'm getting married at my venue and we are doing a rehearsal on site the Thursday night before my wedding. I think he said to plan about 30 minutes for the rehearsal and then we will have the dinner in the pub upstairs afterwards. I'm planning on having my final meeting with my Day of Coordinator be the rehearsal so she can help set everything up since I am clueless :)

Rehearsal dinner

We are getting married at our venue and we are doing a rehersal dinner. You still need to figure out where people will stand/who and when they walk down the isle etc. we also want an opportunity to thank everyone and give out gifts.

Rehearsal dinner

We are getting married at the venue as well. We are having a 'rehearsal' dinner but its more of just an excuse to have everyone together. We plan on telling everyone what order they'll be in at it and giving the bridal party gifts. But other than that we are looking at it as more of a dinner with our closest friends and family and a time to relax before the wedding weekend.
