We are getting married on a Friday night, October 14th, and rented a lodge for our guests for the entire weekend...We live near a really great tourist town and assumed our guests would love the rest of the weekend to do what they wanted.. These wedding plans are FINAL...
HOWEVER, the groom's parents called and asked when we had a rehearsel dinner set, and we didn't...they are paying for it and planning it...The problem I have is hosting a dinner on Thursday night, It's obvious that our out of town guests will not be able to make it for the dinner, but who do we invite to this dinner anyways?
I am so confused about this crazy dinner, and would love any advice or tips..Who do we invite? Is a Thursday out of the question? Where do the guests stay until we can check into the lodge on Friday?
Re: I need help with my rehearsel dinner!
If you have a rehearsal, you should host a meal (lunch or dinner depending aftwerwards). Everyone invited to the rehearsal (generally parents, WP, ceremony participants like readers) and their SOs should be invited to the RD. If you don't have a rehearsal, you don't need to host an RD.
