Rehearsal Dinner - What are you doing?

What are you planning for your rehearsal dinner? Will you be going all out and having a formal sit down dinner? Or are you keeping it casual with an at home BBQ? Was your decision budget based?

For our rehearsal dinner, we will be having a real casual shrimp boil and providing beer. It will be at our venue (a barn), since we have it for the entire weekend. Our rehearsal dinner isn't so much budget based, as it is personality based. My FH and I aren't really into the formal sit down dinners, and this fits our style a lot more. Bonus: shrimp boils are EASY and affordable Smiley smile

    There's not a ton of options near where I get married so we are either going to rent a private room and have chicken and beer or pizza and beer! Super casual but nice to relax...hopefully I don't get bloated Smiley smile

    Oh no...sorry you are having to add that to your plate. I am planning ours too, but that is because no one has offered to.

    I love BBQ, but we are serving that at our wedding so I didn't want to have it 2 nights in a row, lol.

    I think for DWs its better to have all guests attend the rehearsal. Sounds like a nice weekend.

    It's always good to stay in budget, and your country club sounds like it will be a pretty nice rehearsal dinner.

    I vote pizza and beer! However, that might not help with preventing you from getting bloated, lol.

    Haha no, probably not Smiley tongue But I can hopefully get away with a slice and some salad and still look fine in my dress the next day!

    Our venue is connected to a hotel that has a rooftop restaurant so we're having our rehearsal dinner there. My FIL's are hosting so I'm pretty sure his entire extended family will be there since they're not local.

    A roof top restaurant sounds nice.

    That sounds great! My mom would totally love that, she really enjoys seafood but barely ever gets it cause the rest of the family isn't.

    We aren't really having a rehearsal dinner I guess, but our guests (8 including us) are having dinner the night before. We're going to a local restaurant in Gatlinburg, TN that I especially love because they have a dish that you can get steak, french fries, bake potato, and chicken strips for under $15 and its amazing! My dad and I are huge meat and potatoes people, so we can't wait, ha!
