  • Rehearsal Dinner

    There s often a lot of confusion surrounding the etiquette of the rehearsal dinner.  So I wanted to share my rule of thumb for this important night. This is the day for the Mother of the Groom to shine.  If she wants the party to be a grand affair, then allow her the privilege.  If she would like to have a quiet evening shared only by the bridal party and your families, then follow her lead. The groom s family should be responsible for all of the little details.  It is traditionally their responsibility to coordinate the venue, décor, R.S.V.P’s and logistics for the evening.  As ...

    The rehearsal dinner is the perfect opportunity for the groom and his family to show off a little bit.

  • Who comes to the rehearsal dinner?

    Sun Dec 23 07:00:00 PST 2007 AisleDash

    Filed under: Pre-Ceremony PartiesThe first time I heard this question, I was surprised. It hadn't occured to me there was anything to discuss: the people at the rehearsal dinner are the people who need to rehearse -- the two of you, your attendants, the officiant (if he/she wishes). Your respective parents, too, of course. And that's it.Typically, the rehearsal dinner is a reasonably small event, though with wedding party, their spouses/dates and your parents, you're already looking at 22 people (for the average wedding of eight attendants). However, to some the rehearsal dinner is not so much...

  • Rehearsal Dinner in Memphis

    I have the cutest, most adorable, most steal-worthy wedding coming up next but before I share I wanted to show you these pictures from the equally sweet rehearsal dinner. The event was sent to us by the fabulous photographer behind the day, Heidi Ryder, and is ALL charm. I mean seriously. How stinking cute is this? The vintage floral linens, the sweet centerpieces, the CELEBRATION sign. Madly, madly in love with all of it. Oh and they actually had an Elvis impersonator to celebrate their Memphis roots. Yep, they are that cool! The full wedding is coming up next! © Style Me Pretty : The Ulti...

  • Planning your rehearsal dinner

    Wed Oct 10 02:05:00 PDT 2007 AisleDash

    Filed under: Pre-Ceremony PartiesPlanning a rehearsal dinner brings up a lot of questions. Who's invited? What do you do besides eat? Who plans it and pays for it? Where is it held? Well, there's not just one answer to these questions, but there certainly are guidelines. It used to be that only the bridal party and immediate family was invited, but it's now common to invite anyone coming in from out of town. If that seems like an awful lot of people, consider holding your rehearsal and dinner with a small group and having cocktails with everyone afterward. If you've not done so already, you'll...
