BBQ Rehersal?

My fiance and I are getting married in RI but live in CT...we want to hold our rehersal dinner the week before because not everyone can go the night before to RI.  Would it be inappropriate to have a casual, fun BBQ as a rehersal dinner?  We have a large lawn to "reherse" and then would have drinks, food, lawn games, etc.  My parents think I should still do a restaurant but our whole wedding is very casual....anyone have a BBQ as their rehersal?

    It sounds like fun to me. Rehearsal dinners can be as fancy or casual as the host wishes.

    We went to Pizza Hut, so not exactly, but just as casual.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    We haven't made any final decisions for our wedding, but we'd like to do a BBQ for the rehearsal, too. Our reception will be less casual, but I don't see why a BBQ wouldn't be okay if that's what you and your fiance want to do. I think your guests would have fun!

    I think is a great idea, considering that almost everyone is stressed by the wedding.  This is a good way to relieve some of that stress and have fun while you do something that you have to do anyway.

    Have fun and enjoy. The best years are to come.

    Our son is getting married in 4+ weeks, and we are hosting a BBQ picnic for the rehearsal day. Because of locations and timing, we are having the picnic during the day, outdoors, with good cookout food, fun outdoor games and activities; dress is casual.  

    The rehearsal will be later on, in the evening.

    That's what we're doing too!  Very low-key and fun, I can't wait for ours!

    I think using a Wild West theme with bandanas & red check cloths would make it special.  Add a good line on the announcement like "This Ain't No Shotgun Weddin' -We're Having a Rehearsal!" and you've set the stage for everyone to relax, eat good and have a successful run through the ceremony that really breaks the ice.  Play horseshoes, listen to old western swing music.  Many blessings for your family's future!
