Is everyone having a rehearsal dinner?

Original post by Beach-e-bride

My parents are not paying for it and said it is traditionally the boy's family that pays. However, his family is already paying for the band, flower, video and honeymoon. My FH doesnt think one is necessary-- Any thoughts?

I am having one, but FH parents are paying for it. They are also paying for all their guests at the wedding. We are just going to do it at their house, and have catered food. You don't have to do it at a restaurant.

Yes, but at this time - we are paying for it, unless the FILs decide to pay for something..

I'm having one, but it's going to be more of a welcome dinner. The wedding is out east, so most of our guests will be staying overnight. The dinner will be very casual...just a chance for everyone to relax before the big day!!!

We are having one. My FMIL is making the arrangements. She wants to do it fancy at a restaurant. If his family was not planning one, I just would have one at my house. I am excited to have it because you get to spend time with just the bridal party and a few family members.

Yes, but I didn't want to. Our wedding is on a Sunday afternoon and RD on Saturday mid day. My FMIL and FFIL are insisting on it and paying for it, but I still would prefer to just chill out that day. I'm sure it will be fine.

Nope, we're getting married at the hall, and most of the BP lives far enough that they won't want to come out 2x in one week.

Yes, I feel as if it is a waste of money but I guess he have to do it.
