FH and I are paying for the whole wedding and we're thinking that the rehearsal dinner isn't a huge priority for us..
Of course, we want to thank our BP and close family for all of their help (and travel to the venue, which is several hours of driving for many of them), especially since they are expected to spend money on their attire for our big day (although we are having the GM wear black suits and the BM wear a black cocktail dress of their choice). We are planning to spend $50-$75 per person for the BP gifts. But we are thinking of maybe just ordering pizza or subs or something from a cool local place and having some beer and dessert and whatnot at the condo that my parents are renting for the week of the wedding.
FH and I aren't super formal (although of course we love a nice meal at a restaurant and would LOVE to treat everyone to something nicer.. which is definitely still an option!) and were just thinking it would be more fun, laid back, and inexpensive this way!
Thoughts?
