Where are you going?
My FMIL decided she was going to cook then food, then she decided not to once she heard there would be about 30 people there. So we're going to Bordy's on SW 9th. I guess they have a party room or something. I have no idea!

Who are you inviting? Everyone involved with the wedding, and close family.

Is it themed? Not that I know of, but I have thought about getting a few center pieces to put on the table. Vases and such that I already have.

Are you giving our your gifts ie: wedding party, to the groom, parents, ect?
Yes! WP, Parents and my Best Friends Parents. They are like a 2nd set of parents to me.

Are you doing toasts?
Just a Thank you for coming!

Other?
Nothing I can think of!

Our wedding is at Copper Creek so we're staying closeby and going to Legends (hopefully on the patio).

Who are you inviting?  All wedding party people, significant others, OOT guests.

Is it themed?  No.

Are you giving our your gifts ie: wedding party, to the groom, parents, ect? Yes to giving gifts to wedding party.

Are you doing toasts?  Probably not.  I see it as more informal - just an opportunity to kick back, relax, eat and have a few drinks.

Where are you going?
We are having it at a brewery and having BBQ catered in. 

Who are you inviting?
Bridal party and SOs, plus others that are participating the wedding such readers and gift bearers, and immediate family. 

Is it themed?
I don't think so.  My uncle and his band (blues) are going to play so I am super excited for that.

Are you giving our your gifts ie: wedding party, to the groom, parents, ect?
Yes!  We are actually painting the downstairs of my parent's house for their gift so we won't be giving that to them. 

Are you doing toasts?
Probably just a thank you for sharing in our special day and to tell them to have a super fun weekend! 

Other?
Bummed I will have to leave early to start decorating the venue since we can't get in until that night at 9:00 and I don't won't to have to worry about it Sat morning.

Where are you going?
Izaak Walton League in Indianola, IA. That's where the reception is held. So, we are going to grill out and serve hot dogs and hamburgers. Very low-key and laid-back so it's not a "stuffy" event and everyone gets to know each other the day before the wedding.

Who are you inviting?
Wedding party, wedding party's spouses/kids, immediate family on both sides, and any out of town guests that arrived early. Since our food for the rehearsal dinner is very inexpensive, we'll invite anyone on the guest list that is already in town. Why not party twice? You only get to do this once!

Is it themed?
It's not really "themed," but will have a country/rustic feel to it. I'll be wearing a cute sundress and cowboy  boots.

Are you giving out your gifts ie: wedding party, to the groom, parents, ect?
I will be giving all the girls their panites [that say Bridesmaid, Maid of Honor, Mother of the Bride/Groom, Sister of the Groom, etc] and their garter hip flasks made out of the leather the night before. My fiance will most likely give his guys their gifts once he decides what he wants! lol And also will be giving a little something to both mothers and fathers.

Are you doing toasts?
We [Fiance and I] will do toats to thank everyone for their hard work and major commitment to helping with organizing the wedding. If anyone else wants to chime in and say something, they are more than welcome to, too!

Other?
We'll also have yard games set-up for the kiddos to keep them entertained. Heck, we might even get some adults in on it, too.
