How to plan your Rehearsal Dinner

Fancy or not

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

Things You'll Need

• Budget
• Head Count
• Invites (optional)
• gifts

Instructions

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