We did ours 2-3 months in advance, but for a less popular season (November).

Re: how soon in advance should I book rehearsal dinner?

if you know where you want to have it, sooner is better then later... doing it now dosnt hurt anything, and at least your first choices wont be booked...

Re: how soon in advance should I book rehearsal dinner?

I think it depends on how many people are coming. If it is small, then you can wait more. If it is large, then book sooner rather than later.

Re: how soon in advance should I book rehearsal dinner?

i like to plan early... so we booked ours 11 months in advance. Yes i know... that's very early, but it was one less thing to worry about.
