My dad informed me yesterday (5 months and a week before the wedding) that we need to find a venue for the rehearsal dinner. The original plan was to have it at my parent's house but they've backed out (long story).
The rehearsal will take place in Fall River and we'd like to stay in that area if possible. I don't want something super fancy, I really wanted a BBQ type of thing in my parent's backyard, and I don't have a huge budget for it either. My mom is insistent on having it be a welcome reception for her family as well as a rehearsal dinner so we're looking at about 50 people and my dad wants to spend at little as possible. Oh, and incase that was hard enough, the rehearsal will be on a Saturday, in September. Any ideas are welcome! TIA.
