How far away is your rehearsal dinner from the actual rehearsal ?

View Quoted Comment Thursday would have been great, but after running it by the bridal party. The groomsmen wouldn’t be able to make it. Well half of them because they live out of state and said they will be coming in Friday. So I didn’t even think it made sense at that point. My parents think the rehearsal dinner so far away is crazy. Needless to say. It’s not happening. They have taken over planning of that event.

We wanted to keep it closer by, so our rehearsal dinner will be at the hotel my family and bridesmaids are staying at that's about 5 minutes from the venue.

We're having our dinner at our venue. But we're also being super casual and ordering pizza.

I do agree with my friend; I never imagined myself doing anything wedding related in a diner, but this is my in-laws choice. Originally, I was going to have my family and guests do something separate, but I couldn't make up my mind and my in laws already started planning their side's rehearsal dinner there and they invited us to be included in the event, along with all of our out of town guests, family and my 10 person bridal party. So we are having it there.
