Any recs for a rehearsal dinner location? Or ideas? I'm lost in this whole rehearsal dinner planning thing. We will have about 30 people on the guest list.

Do you want the place to be close to your ceremony spot? Maybe Maggianos. I had my mom's retirement party in one of their private banquet rooms. If you're ok with just having a table for you & your guests, you could look into Clydes or Cheesecake Factory. Just thinking about places that have a variety of food. I hope that helps in some way!

Based on where your rehearsal is, Maggiano's is always great for a rehearsal dinner.

My rehearsal will be in the forestville area. I don't want to go too far outside of that area because FI has some people from Florida coming, I don't want them to get lost. I will check out Maggiano's

Thanks ladies

I think the closest Maggianos would be upper NW near Bethesda. Maybe you can check out any restaurants in Waldorf near St Charles Mall. National Harbor may be an option as well.

I hope you don't think this is ghetto fabulous but you can always look in to the Golden Corral which is off of Central Avenue in Largo/Mitchelliville area at the Cap Center Blvd.

My girlfriends and I had our Thanksgiving dinner there. It was inexpensive and we had a private room. I say check it out. It was cool for us.

That's actually a good idea! My FI & I are paying for this ourselves so inexpensive is good for me! I use to work there years ago, back when it first opened so I shouldn't have any issues getting a party room or anything.

Where there you have it girl, roll with that. I was using the Fish Market in Clinton or so I thought I was then they toldme that they don't host parties on Friday nights. I was hot dag on it.
