Ladies that are or have gotten married at the RH...

It's probably been asked before but I can't find anything on the topic...
Do you get to 'rehearse' for the ceremony or not? If not, are you having a rehearsal dinner? I want to give my bridal party their thank you gifts and I'm planning to call it a rehearsal dinner but I don't think I will be rehearsing anything?
What should I do? Opinions & Advice are greatly appreciated. THanks Ladies!!!!

Re: Ladies that are or have gotten married at the RH...

we had a 'rehearsal dinner' the weekend before the wedding. we didnt' actually rehearse anything that day, it was just a big celebration w/ our BP, parents and close family there. you don't have to call it a rehearsal dinner. my BIL threw us ours, and it was just to celebrate me and DH.

We are not having a rehearsal. We might run through it at the house but our friend is marrying us.

That worked out for you very well. I guess since I'm getting married the same weekend as you it is to late to ask the RH... shux!

Re: Ladies that are or have gotten married at the RH...

We are having a dinner with our parents and bridal party the night before the wedding (since we are all staying at the hotel together the night before)....Our officiant has agreed to come to do a quick rehearsal - mostly because I want to see her before the wedding - since we only met one time about 7 months ago. It would be nice to see her again and chat before she marries us. If we cannot rehearse at the RH we will either go over it at the restaurant or in the hotel lobby....I dont think its necessary - my biggest reason for wanting to do it is so that we meet the officiant again before the ceremony and so that our family can meet her as well....

Re: Ladies that are or have gotten married at the RH...

We are rehearsing at the RH because we are getting married on a Thursday and as a result, the RH has nothing else going on. We are also eating at the Milleridge Inn restaurant.

My friend who also got married at her RH had to have a rehearsal dinner at her parent's house because her RH was having another event. So we had dinner and just rehearsed the order of the program in the basement.

You have many options. But first, call your BM to see if they have anything booked.

They rehearsed that day before the ceremony. I didnt get to rehearse.

We didnt do a rehearsal dinner, but my BP and some friends went to dinner the night before and I gave them their gifts then.

Re: Ladies that are or have gotten married at the RH...

I had a rehearsal and a dinner.. we had a run through at the hall it lasted about 30 mins.

I'm really glad that we did.. bc we had a big bridal party and some of them had no idea what to do.. plus this let them know what order to walk in and stuff.

We had the dinner after.. and I gave the gifts out then

Re: Ladies that are or have gotten married at the RH...

We did a quick rehersal at the rehersal dinner, our DOC set everyone up, my Officiant could not make it to our rehersal

Re: Ladies that are or have gotten married at the RH...

we had a rehearsal lunch at our RH the day before the wedding...our BM went over everything w us, it didn't take long but it was still good to go over it and then we got to eat and give out our gifts. i think even if you're getting married at the RH it's totally acceptable to have a rehearsal.

Re: Ladies that are or have gotten married at the RH...

Our plan is/was to have a rehearsal at noon the day before and then have a luncheon. Our problem was the fact that there is another wedding at our RH the day before but the Bride graciously said we could do a rehearsal at noon. We couldnt do it any other day because our BP is coming in from Canada two days before the wedding.

Re: Ladies that are or have gotten married at the RH...

We aren't having a rehearsal dinner- we will just quickly go over everything the day of. I am still trying to figure out when to give the BP their gifts.
