Activity for Ashlee

Thoughts on whether a rehearsal dinner is required? My fiancé and I are paying for the entire wedding ourselves excluding my FMIL is contributing $5K towards our venue bill. I know the dinner is normally a nice way to thank the wedding party...

Does anyone know a bridal salon that sells specifically English Net Lace Veils in the local Minneapolis/St. Paul MN area? I've looked online and I'm only getting hits off of Etsy. Would appreciate your help!
