RD time

so i have two choices...the whole bridal party can meet for dinner around 3:30pm then go to ceremony site for 6pm. after ceremony rehersal I plan on doing the reception area decorating with the help of my girls...or we can meet for 6pm ,decorate ,then go to dinner...but i am not sure how long it is going to take to decorate...your thoughts?

Re: RD time

  • Can you decorate at 3 and then rehearse at 6 and go to dinner after that? If I ate dinner at 3:30 I would be starving again by 7...but I'm always hungry lol.
  • Agree with PP - dinner at 3:30 is early.  I'd prefer dinner after 5pm.

  • I agree with PP, If you could decorate first then do rehearsal and dinner I think that would be the best.  But I personally always eat late myself... haha
  • i know that is what i fear everyone will be starving...but i cant decorate till after rehearsal and i am afraid we wont be done till around 9
  • hmm Maybe you can do the rehearsal, then do dinner, then come back to decorate?  That way people wont be eatting too early or too late!
  • Another option could always be to do a "rehearsal lunch" type of thing then do the rehearsal and decorate.  During decorating you could always have someone run out and get everyone some finger foods as a little late snack?

  • Our rehearsal is at 1:00 (because it's' the only time we can get access to the church that day), so we'll rehearse, then have a late lunch, followed by set-up in the reception hall for a couple of hours.  Then everyone parts ways to change/freshen up, then finally we will meet at our favorite neighborhood Italian place for RD around 7pm.
