If the dinner is hosted in a restaurant, are floral arrangements, welcome signs, etc required?
There is a rehearsal of the ceremony at rehearsal dinners in Ireland/Europe so everyone knows their role on the day
As the mother of the groom I’m nervous about the rehearsal dinner. My husband and I don’t have much money and I’m not sure how we can pull off a dinner.
I want my rehearsal dinner to take place at a Chinese restaurant.
Weird tradition: such a wedding rehearsal and the wedding rehearsal dinner. It's like you are having two weddings after another: one informal and one formal.
Luckily it's not a custom, where I live (Western Europe). When people are coming over the night before, let them eat where they are or visit other relatives / friends on their own.
A wedding is asking a lot from all, so best get in there as fit as possible. So, if you want to have dinner with some people coming over from out of town, I'd find the nearest restaurant and have some relaxed fun, wearing normal casual clothes, and say good night to all at 10:00 pm tops.
I have a month of wedding coordinator for my wedding in December. Should I invite them to the rehearsal dinner as well? I feel kinda awkward about it since I don't know them but they will be there for the rehearsal at the church before we go to a restaurant for the dinner. Thoughts?
These tips were so helpful! I'm having a destination wedding in France next month and I just started thinking about the rehearsal dinner. We're just keeping it casual – party platters in the backyard!
This was so helpful thank you! Most of our guests are flying to attend our wedding so we're having a casual meet and greet/rehearsal dinner for everyone to get to know each other.
I've watched you for almost 2 years, but this is my first video officially as a fiance!! Thank you for all the tips you share ♡
This is perfectly on time again! It's like you can read my brain! Thank you so much for all you do! How was Jamaica?
In the case of a small bridal party could the rehearsal dinner invitation be either included as a separate hand written note card mailed with the wedding invitation or even as informal as a ve4bal or electronic invitation?
Could you do a video on proposing? Like ideas, how to take photos in case it’s a surprise
Thanks for this info, I was just thinking about this!
Cavin, you are an unending fountain of useful information! I don’t know how you do it! This was lovely, and it gave me some great things to consider. I’m always so excited to see an upload from you! And a destination wedding in Jamaica sounds amazing!
This is great! We invited the whole wedding party and their plus ones, in addition we invited all guests who had to fly to attend our wedding and any immediate family members that were local. My husband's parents paid for the dinner at a local Italian food restaurant.
