Re: Rehearsal Dinner

Since you're getting married in church you should have the RD after the ceremony rehearsal. That's typically when it's done. HTH

People usually have it they day before the wedding. For me this was too much, so I am having mine a week before my wedding.

If your doing it in a church you have to ask them when they are available then go from there. If your getting married on a Saturday, they usually do it the Thursday before.

We are having ours the week before. For us to do it the day before would be just too chaotic. I think it is all a matter of preference.

I am getting married on a Friday night and I am having my RD the night before. We have a lot of important guests that are only coming to town on Wednesday/Thursday.... Hope it's not too late of a night!

Re: Rehearsal Dinner

You usually do it the night of your rehersal.

Re: Rehearsal Dinner

If you're marrying in the Church, first schedule a time for them - then schedule the dinner.

If no church is involved and it's the RH - see when they want to do it - some do rehearsals the day of the wedding.

If none of that is involved - then choose a day that YOU want (some choose 1 week or 1 day before). I opted for 1 day before b/c I have OOT people coming in.
