Who is having a rehearsal dinner? Are you doing it the night before the weeding?

    We are having ours at our wedding venue a couple days before the wedding (our wedding is Saturday and we are having ours on Thursday).

    We have people in our wedding party coming from Ontario and the US so so it's a great way for everyone to get to talk to each other before the wedding.

    We are not. Weddings are already so expensive. We just cannot afford to pay for dinner with everyone. Plus all the groomsmen know each other and all the bridesmaids know each other, so they don't really need to meet.

    We're having a rehearsal and there will be a meal of some kind afterward but it won't be the night before the wedding and it'll be a pretty casual affair.

    We will be setting everything up the day before, and will do our rehearsal and a dinner for everyone who is there afterwards.

    Kind of.. we are having a BBQ at our house the day before the wedding for the people involved in the ceremony. Plus we figured it would be easier to do it that day because we have to go through everything at the church as well. Plus, some of the people that are involved in the ceremony/bridal party live out of the city.

    We don't have a wedding party so we won't have a rehearsal dinner. We will meet with our officiant and our emcees in the days leading up to the wedding instead.


    My fiance's family is all from away so we will probably have a family dinner the night before but not to rehearse anything.

    We're doing one the night before but will probably just get some food catered for a small backyard BBQ at the house my parents are renting. Nothing extravagant. It's maybe 10 minutes from the venue though so no one has to be up outrageously early the next day.

    We're doing the rehearsal a week before, and then just having a fun and laid back BBQ after since the rehearsal/ceremony will be in FH's parent's back yard. We just wanted something laid back, which is really the vibe we're going for for the whole wedding anyway lol.

    We are having one on the Thursday after the rehearsal. Our party is small enough that it would be just like a dinner out

    We did - we had our venue for the whole weekend (Friday - Sunday) so we were able to have the rehearsal the night before the wedding. Otherwise if you can't get the venue the night before I personally would try to do it maybe a week before the wedding or a couple days before so that it's not a whole bunch to get done right before.
