Do I need a rehearsal?

Sooo, we're getting married at the RH. Our bridal party consists of my MOH, FH's BM, two flower girls (one might be ring bearer as well).

I can't really decide whether or not we need a rehearsal, just doesn't seem necessary.

Thoughts??

EDIT: I've also never been to a rehearsal before and nobody in my family has either so I don't even know what it consists of really except what I've seen on WeTV and Wedding Channel lol

Thanks ladies! I like the idea of a thank you lunch/dinner. Maybe what we can do to save money is host it at our house as a pot luck thing, and then just do a quick run through there. That might be best.

We are having a rehearsal dinner in part because we do want to do something for our family and bridal party. The adults I am certain can figure it out but it is the children that will need the help. See if you can visit your venue with the kiddies and have them do a walk through. That is the most important thing!

Re: Do I need a rehearsal?

we arent having one. My ceremony is at my RH as well and everyone in the party has been in tons of weddings before so I dont find it necessary!
Plus the two days prior to my wedding are a very holy jewish holiday, so thats another reason why we arent doing one!

Yea you can do this... but typically it is the groom's family that 'hosts' the RD..

We are not doing a formal sit down RD because we have a lot of OOT guests, maybe just a informal thing somewhere.

Re: Do I need a rehearsal?

Nope! Not necessary. Esp with a BP the size of urs. I got married at the RH and we rehersed like 30mins before the ceremony. Everyone already 'gets it', for the most part. And my BP had parents, MOH, BM, 3BMs, 3GMs, 2 Jr. BMs, 2 FGs, and 1 Jr. GM. Oh and 2 dogs!
