april/ early may brides

what are you ladies doing for rehersal dinner?
FMIL said she is NOT paying for this, so it falls on FH & I to get it done, which was not in our budget. we have about 30 people and its prob not going to be bbq weather. help!
where is an inexpensive place, or some good ideas?
TIA!

LOL. when are you giving your BP their gifts?
We're up in the air about it, but everyone in my family has had a RD so, i semi feel obligated.

We are/were back and forth about it. We are kind of set on having one. We got a really good price at the Westbury manor. We are doing 40 people and it would be like 2400.

I was thinking about saving money and doing it at our house but since the in laws are from florida it has to be the day before the wedding and I am not having 40 people at my house the day prior to the wedding

I am getting married on a Friday so a lunch thursday kind of makes the girls take off thursday instead of the option. Like as of now we are getting nails done who ever CAN take off. If i did lunch i would feel bad. My other option is doing a lunch or something with just the wedding party the saturday prior. It would cheaper since it wont include the parents and the people doing the readings and we could either just do lunch or take them out to wear we met??? I would have to make sure it was ok w/ FH that his sister and brother in law wouldnt be there. Then we could give the parents gifts that morning and the readers gifts too.

yea we are doing the saturday before the wedding. every one who is coming from out of state will already be here and this way we can have a small lunch, and prob head out to our respective bachelorette and bachelor parties

You will love our idea then. This will help you out, we are having a meet and greet at our hotel where we blocked rooms. they are giving us the conference room for free!!!!!!! We will be getting food from costco for guests to munch on and there is a projection screen in there, so FH will be making movies of us to play. they are giving us the room for 3 hours so we can give the wedding party their presents there. Oh, Alcohol is not alowed in the conference room so that will save you money too.
