Rehearsal Dinner

I really don't want a rehearsal or rehersal dinner. If we do have something I plan on having everyone over our house for some beer and wine and pizza from our favorite local pizza place. We have a pretty big house and a big backyard so I don't think having like 20 people over would be a big deal.

Yea, that's definitely an option. It doesn't have to be held anywhere specific. Even at your house and ordering pizza. It's more of a hang out and a thank you so no one should be expecting anything fancy. On top of finances, we just really don't have anywhere to hold it and most of our people are out of towners so why bother? lol

We are just doing pizza at my BIL's house so I don't have to clean after lol.

That's a great idea! I was wondering the same. Unfortunately for us, the onsite inn that me, bridesmaids, FH, & groomsmen will be at isn't the same hotel we will have a block at. We could try to get everyone there because our parents will be at the hotel, but it might take some additional coordinating. We need a ceremony rehearsal, but weren't intent on a rehearsal dinner unless parents offered to host (not an expectation, just an old tradition).

If you do a rehearsal, you need to have a rehearsal dinner. If you don't want to host the dinner, don't have a rehearsal.

That's a great idea too! Thank you!

We used our church hall for our rehearsal dinner. We ordered a couple of pizzas and had some sodas.

Our venue won't let us have our rehearsal the night before unless we shell out more than $1,000 so we rented a nearby meeting room that will fit our party and our parents so that we can do our rehearsal. We needed enough space to do our rehearsal and fortunately, this place will also let us cater in so our rehearsal dinner will be there as well and we've been thinking sandwich and fruit platters or giant subs or pizzas.
