I think it would be great! more intimate and relaxing! I am sure you BP will welcome it, especially if they are close with your fam

Nope. We are having it at my aunts. We have so many OOT guests so everyone invited to the wedding can also come to the RD if they want. My aunt has a huge pool and house and we are having a BBQ. I would rather that then go to a restaurant.

We were actually planning ours for our house too- assuming that we close on time- I think it will be more fun- but we also cant afford to spend anymore

I don't think it's tacky at all! I wish we could do it at FH's house because it would save us a ton of $$.

Not at all, the last RD I went to was in the backyard at the brides parents house. Some of the food was catered and some prepared...it added a neice personal touch... go for it!

Re: Is it tacky...

I think it's so fun! I really had wanted to do that but we live with FH's dad and his stepmom so having his mom and bf here was kinda a weird feeling. So since the RH said we didn't need one, we decided to forgo it. We'll do a run-thru in the backyard. I think it's much more personal that way too. Especially with a large bp its easier/cheaper to do it at home. You could even do a BBQ! Good luck!
