Fancy or not

Never had a wedding rehearsal dinner before? You've come to the right place!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Budget
  • Head Count
  • Invites (optional)
  • gifts
  1. Step 1

    First of all, you need to decide if this is going to be a formal event or an informal event. They don't all need to be fancy, you could have your rehearsal dinner anywhere from a fancy hotel to HomeTown Buffet(ours was here).

  2. Step 2

    Who is paying for the dinner? Is it you your soon to be husband/wife? Is it the bride's parents or the groom's parents? Anyway, whoever is funding the rehearsal dinner has a budget. Get with them and talk it over

  3. Step 3

    The rehearsal dinner doesn't need to be fancy. You can have it at Hometown Buffet if you like. My husband and I did. It was only 12 dollars a person and there were around 30 people that attended.

  4. Step 4

    Call the venue and make sure they have space for you and your group, if your having a groom's cake, make sure they allow outside food to come in. Most of them don't care as it's a fairly big group anyways!

  5. Step 5

    Brings gifts for your attendants (if your the bride and groom). This is the best time to acknowledge them and thank them for being in your wedding party.

  6. Step 6

    Most of all, thank the person(s) who paid for the event.

Tips & Warnings
  • Keep the budget in mind
  • Make sure it's a place that everyone can eat at.
  • HAVE FUN!
  • Try not to go over the budget, it can be very easy
