So, we're getting (dangerously) close to going over budget and I'm trying to think of how to make the RD be inexpensive.

Would an RD at a pizza place be tacky or come off cheap?

I think it might be nice to have a low key night before the big day anyway, and our group is definitely a chill bunch (14 including me, FH and SO's)

A couple of pies, pitchers of beer/bottles of wine?

Yay or nay?

    I'm a fan! We're doing our RD at a brewery/Winery and they make the BEST pizza. We'll have other options for our friends/family with dietary restrictions but I'm excited for a low key evening at one of my favorite places.

    I don't think it's tacky at all! We were thinking of doing the same thing.

    Not at all! If I was in your bridal party I would be super stoked, but I could eat pizza everyday!

    Sounds nice! EDIT: My wedding planner actually recommended we choose a more casual place for the RD! She said if you puck a fancy place it has too much of a wedding vibe.

    We are having ours at a gourmet pizza place. It is an old Victorian house converted to a restaurant! I love the idea of something casual before a big elegant wedding!

    I think thats a good idea honestly. We're playing with the idea of having a small RD at my mom's house and ordering some pizza, salad and a tray or two of ziti and serving some wine/beer.

    Nope we're doing a rehearsal BBQ where family can get acquainted. Probably near the beach so it'll be super casual! ETA: love the casual pizza idea by the way!
