Planning an unforgettable wedding rehearsal dinner doesn't have to be complicated. Make sure your dinner event goes off without a hitch with these tips:
1. Choose a convenient location. If you're having a destination wedding, book a spot that is central to where all your guests are staying. And, of course, double-check that the venue you select can accommodate your entire party.
2. Send out invitations in advance: Give your guests plenty of time to clear their schedules by sending out invitations at least six weeks in advance. Include all the important details like the date, time, and address of the event so there are no surprises on the big day.
3. Plan the menu ahead of time: Talk to the venue about what type of food they offer, or inquire about any deals they may have with catering companies. In addition, consider any dietary restrictions your guests may have.
4. Make it fun and engaging: A rehearsal dinner is supposed to be a fun event for everyone involved. Keep your guests entertained throughout the night with games or live music.
The guest list for the rehearsal dinner should include all members of the wedding party, as well as any close family members or friends who are helping with the
wedding planning. If you want to keep the event intimate, limit the dinner guest list to immediate family only.
