Traditionally, the rehearsal dinner is hosted by the groom’s parents 1-2 nights before the wedding. The guest list usually includes, the bride and groom, the wedding party along with their spouses, the immediate family of both bride and groom, and sometimes out-of-town guests. Extended family and friends of the couple may also be invited.

The rehearsal dinner is typically help at a restaurant or a private home. This dinner can be totally casual, semi-formal, or themed. Pick your outfit accordingly! A sweet dress is a must! Not too casual or too short!! (: Be sure that your personal style shows in your outfit with your shoes, jewelry, and handbag!

This is a great time to visit with all of your guests, have a few impromptu speeches, and generally just hang out in a super relaxed atmosphere!

The actual rehearsal, held before the dinner, should include the wedding party and immediate family. It’s a real perk if everyone is on time for you! The rest of the guests should arrive at the dinner.
