Traditionally speaking, this event is hosted by the groom's parents and specifically, the mother in law-to-be. While this scenario might be traditional, this is certainly not the case for every couple-to-be. Despite who hosts, get together and agree on the evening's formality, date, time, place and who's invited.

The rehearsal dinner can be held anywhere~ from a simple BBQ to an expensive restaurant; it simply depends on your style and budget. The main idea behind the rehearsal dinner is to relax, celebrate and enjoy a very special evening with relatives and good friends before your big day.

Ingredients for a Fab Evening

Besides adhering to your budget, make sure that your menu is varied enough to accommodate the range of tastes at the table. In all likelihood, your guests will include children to elderly adults. That said, have variety in the menu you decide on. Since this is a celebratory evening, there will be toasting but coordinate the majority of the toasts to occur in the middle of the evening~ rather than at the end. You certainly don't want to be tired the next day because you've been up too late the night before.

Who's invited to the rehearsal dinner, traditionally?
~ Immediate family on both sides (parents, grandparents, siblings)
~ The wedding party and their significant others
~ Child attendants and their parents
~ Minister/officiate

The rehearsal dinner event also presents a fabulous opportunity for the bride and groom to offer their own toasts and gifts of appreciation to their family and friends. Enjoy yourselves! It's sure to be a great time!
