MOH hosted Rehearsal Dinner?
So I just wanted to get the P&E take on this. My best friend is getting married this June and I really want to help her in any way I can because I know she is trying to stay on a budget and keep things simple. I want to offer to host the rehearsal dinner at my house, but I'm unsure of how to go about it. Obviously I need to ask the bride first, but I already know that she wants a casual rehearsal dinner along the lines of a backyard BBQ. My house is close to the church so it would be convienent. Do you foresee any problems with this situation that I should consider before I offer?

However - are you sure the FILs will be ok with that?

It could work out if you're very clear on what exactly you're offering, but honestly, I can see this getting out of hand and potentially ruining your friendship when ti does. There was a poster here who threw a wedding for her friend, and I remember her running in to some problems with that. I hope she sees this and gives some input.

And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

[QUOTE]I would be very clear about what you're offering. Are you going to pay for everything? If so, how many people are you willing to allow her to invite? Are you willing to let her help plan, or do you want to do it all on your own?
