Planning a rehearsal dinner may seem like just another stressful to-do on the wedding list. The good news is that the bride should not be planning the rehearsal dinner!
It is customary for the groom’s parents to plan and pay for the rehearsal dinner. If the groom’s parents are unable to do so for any reason, ask a close relative (other than your parents) or even a good friend if they would like to be in charge of hosting the rehearsal dinner.
A rehearsal dinner can be as simple and intimate as a cookout with your family and bridal party in your backyard to an elegant dinner at your favorite restaurant. There is no right or wrong way to plan your rehearsal dinner. You could even make your rehearsal dinner a movie night with pizza or popcorn! Celebrate with your loved ones and bridal party by watching your favorite romantic film, and relaxing together before the big day.

I love how flexible the rehearsal dinner can be! It’s such a great way to unwind with close family and friends before the wedding. A cookout or casual movie night sounds perfect for keeping things relaxed and fun, especially if you want to take some pressure off before the big day. That being said, an elegant dinner at a favorite restaurant is a nice way to make it a bit more special, too. I think the most important thing is that it reflects your personality and sets the tone for a memorable celebration! hill climb racing
