Rehearsal & Dinner

Maureen, on January 18, 2020 at 1:19 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 5

There are a few things I am questioning. When and Where?

So my wedding is on a 5/5/2020. This is a Friday. It is at a bouquet hall (the whole thing, ceremony and reception) where I will have to pay extra for the time of a rehearsal, if I choose to do the rehearsal at the hall. I've considered doing the rehearsal in my back yard the Sat. before, with a barbeque and drinks after. When talking to a bridesmaid about this, she thinks a week before is too far out and that we need to do the rehearsal at the location in order for everyone to know where they need to be.

Then again with my (back yard) idea, we'd also need a plan B in case in bad weather. I am in the midwest and weather can be unpredictable.

Please share thoughts and ideas.

    Not that this is the most important detail from your post, but May 5, 2020 (5/5/20) is a Tuesday? Could you just do the rehearsal and bbq at your house the day before the wedding? I agree that a week out may be a little on the far side.

    Have your rehearsal whenever you want! As long as your people are together then it shouldn't matter. My friend had her rehearsal a week before her wedding, since a holiday was a day or two before her wedding.
    If it were me, I'd still have the rehearsal at the venue, since I'm kind of a perfectionist and need to be sure timing and spacing is correct before the actual ceremony. But if that doesn't matter to you, having it in your backyard is a good idea.
    I love the bbq idea! But would that be too stressful for you or your family to get all of that ready the day before your wedding?

    Having the rehearsal a week before is too far out. People usually forget things over the course of a week. And yes, you should do the rehearsal at the same venue. I definitely agree with your bridesmaid on all of this.

    It depends on who all is invited to the rehearsal. Are they all in town? Or are some out of town? If everyone is in town, then I think that's fine.
