Rehersal

How would you ladies do a rehersal without having a formal one? I don't want to spend 500 on a rehersal that lasts for only a half hour

We are having everyone in our wedding party (8 people including me and the groom) up to our suite for some snacks and drinks (just smuggling them in from a local store). We're just going to quickly do a simple rundown of the walking order and other tiny details like that. It'll just be about 12-20 minutes max of logistical talk and then we'll just hang out for a bit and call it a night. This will take place after the meet&greet/welcome dinner we are having at the buffet. We are not hosting it, simply letting people know that some of the family members are planning to eat at that location, if people are looking for a place to go.You will most likely talk to the minister one on one prior to the ceremony, so he will not need to be included. Also, you can show your wedding party photos or take a stroll by the location (if it's outdoors), so you don't necessarily have to have it at the location itself.

Maybe you could do one in your hotel suite? It's pretty much about the flow of the wedding. You could use the door to your suite as the door/entry to your wedding location and then practice walking in/standing where you would for the wedding.

The people who are going to care most about a rehearsal are your photographer and videographer.  If they've worked that location before, then no worries, skip it.  If they've never worked it, they may want a chance to scope it out beforehand to get the best shots.  I would talk to those vendors and see what they think.  If they really want to do the rehearsal, you might be able to talk them into splitting the cost with you.
