PIZZA PARTY FOR A NON REHEARSAL DINNER?

We're doing the exact same thing! We're doing sort of an open house in the hotel. Guests can just wander down and say hi when they get a chance. It's nice for us bc almost everyone is OOT, and it allows us to visit with everyone in a laid back way. And since we're not advertising it as the rehersal dinner, it doesn't feel tacky to do pizza. It's just an extra little event we're having.

Well, its looking like we are doing burgers.

Long story, but we're doing it at FMIL house. She made ALL the food for her daughters wedding and most of the food for her wedding. BUT when it came to us asking for her assistance, she gave a sob story of having no money and wanting us to take charge and do everything. After FH said that we'd pay as long as she cooked, its now turning into just pasta salad and burgers. Its really frustrating because she has money to go and buy new laptop and a GPS all in same week, but not enough to make a hot pasta dish with some homemade garlic bread.

SO SORRY FOR THE RANT!

@ Bergkirk - I say if thats what you and FH like than do what makes you happy and what is easiest. I personally think it sounds fine and relaxing.

We are doing a pizza party for our rehearsal dinner at my parents... yeah I like the idea of going out to eat but you never really get to sit and talk to everyone and really have a good time you always feel like your rushed and how do you sit at one end of a table and talk to the others on the other side of the table.. we thought that a pizza party would be more relaxed and we can mingle and talk to everyone and just enjoy our selfs..

Thank you all so far for making me feel better....

At first I like the idea since we do really like pizza...But then the thought of Pizza Party for kids came into my head and I could not get rid of that thought!

This is making me feel better! Thanx

I'm actually doing a pizza party and am sooooo excited about it! I want the rehersal dinner to be really relaxed and low key and I think pizza and wine is going to be just that...plus we have a few kids in the wedding party so we figure they'll love the pizza as well. I don't care if it sounds tacky or whatever...it's right for us!

Anything but pizza! unless its gourmet pizza. ug its like a rock in your stomach!

Were doing chicken wings and pizza LOL

This is great!, cause we're doing the same thing FOR our rehearsal dinner.. all the night before. we're treating everyone to LEDO's!! ..if you aren't in the DC area, it sucks to be you cause LEDO's ROCKS.. seriously, its the best pizza ever and if you try to tell me otherwise i will start a fight with you, lol

I think pizza sounds great! I mean, really who turns down free pizza?

I think a pizza party sounds great, but if you want to have a pasta dish as well, then go for it.

We actually had pizza at my house the night before. We were on a tight budget too. Nobody minded at all and it was a really relaxed atmosphere.

THANKS AGAIN...We are planning on visiting with restaurant and may pick a few other things in addition to pizza...But what can u do...u have to feed these people!! LOL

YES!!!! Can we come? lol

Sure!!! The more the merrier!! lol

*me doing a happy dance* Nice! We will see you soon!

Thats sounds like fun and no stress.

I wouldn't do a pizza party but how about a bunch of different pastas with different sauces and seasoning? Maybe a toss salad and some Italian bread drizzled with butter and oil with a little bit of garlic and Parmesan cheese? Since all of this can be made in bulk it would probably be just as inexpensive You could have like a fun Italian theme playing music and having twinkle lights and wine (if you drink lol) all around the room!!

Yes, I have been thinking about this...or maybe a combo of both! Plan to meet with them this Friday...so coordinate something...I do like the different pasta idea also!! Thank you!!

Sounds like FUN! I'll bring the Rolling Rock!

We are doing a pasta party! We are on a budget also and dont want to do anything too expensive ( everyone will be drinking anyway so its safer to do it at someones house). We were going to do a bbq but our wedding is in March and im afraid it will be too chilly.
