I’m having a micro destination wedding with less than 20 close family and friends and no wedding party. The ceremony will be short and sweet and will need no rehearsing. That said, we still want to have some sort of event the night before, especially since we've rented a house out for everyone to stay for the weekend. Our reception will be an intimate 4-course dinner party, so I ideally want to do something a bit different than a standard dinner the night before the wedding. I'm looking for any suggestions or examples of less traditional rehearsal dinner options.
I was thinking about hiring a murder mystery dinner game + actor as dinner entertainment the night before our wedding with a family-style meal. Any thoughts? I think most of our group would have fun with this, but should I include it as a 'yes' or 'no' option on the rsvp? Has anyone done a similiar activity? I'm trying to do a blend of traditional and untraditional for the weekend but don't want to stray too far off course.
