A rehearsal......breakfast?

So here's the deal: I can't do a rehearsal the night before at my venue unless I rent the venue for that night. We are allowed into our venue as early as 8 am on the day of our renewal. I am thinking that I can have everyone get together at about 9am (since everyone has hair, nail, etc. appointments...

I am thinking that I can have everyone get together at about 9am (since everyone has hair, nail, etc. appointments starting at around 11am-ish) and do a quick rehearsal, and then serve breakfast to everyone before we all go our seperate ways for our appointements and to get dressed. Our ceremony isn't until 5:30 that evening. I plan on getting some bagel and breakfast sandwich platters, some fruit platters, OJ, coffee, and milk to feed everyone a good breakfast so that they have energy to make it through the day.

Has anyone else ever done this? What do you guys think?

    Although rather than lobster rolls, I'm thinking a chicken ceasar sandwhich on toasted ciabatta.... What do you think?

    I think this sounds like a great idea. Definitely have a timeline planned out so you don't get behind, and send info to your BP beforehand if you can. Make sure they know this needs to be short, sweet and effective. Plus make sure you build in time for lunch. Having a 9am breakfast and then not eating again until dinner AFTER the ceremony is too long! Good luck!

    I am thinking now I am really hungry... :-)

    I think the sack lunch is a great idea- if you can keep it cold. Can you have chicken caesar out all day without a fridge? I am a strange mayo person... If I was in the BP I would think it was fantastic. It also sounds a lot easier than cooking dinner the night before!

    We will have a huge industrial fridge at the venue so yes, I can keep everything cold during the rehearsal, and I make an egg-less ceasar dressing, so worries about spoilage there. Smiley smile

    Your idea sounds fabulous!!! I'm also planning a breakfast rehearsal because it only made sense for our circumstances of venue restrictions, travel conflicts, etc. You seem to have things in order, I'm sure it will work out fine. I plan to email the bridal party an overview of the rehearsal to make things go a little smoothly and we have hired a no nonsense "day of coordinator" who will get us in and out of that rehearsal in under an hour. Also, consider assigning the task of setting up food to someone in the bridal party, you have enough on your plate I'm sure, unless thats just something you enjoy doing... good luck with everything
