Has anybody started to think about this yet? If so where are you looking into?
Im trying to keep ours very small. No more than 30 people, and thats just the bridal party and Immediate family.
I also want to spend no more than 20.00 per person. Does anybody have any ideas of places on Eastern LI that would be good options for this?
TIA

We are having our RD at Pasta Pasta down port, we are not sure on the date, either the night b4 or 2 days before!
I was just looking at their website today! It was in the 30.00 range, so it was out of my price range.

[I also just made a quick list at 40 people is where we are with just the bridal party and immediate family. With 20 per person we'd be at 800, which in my situation is alot since we're pretty much paying for the entire wedding including the RD.
Id prefer not to inconvience anyone by asking them to do it at their house, however that was one of my first ideas. I also like the idea of looking into the church multi purpose room. We could get it catered and decorate it nicely. I just want a place where FH and I, the family, and the bridal party can gather after the rehearsal, eat, relax, and give them their gifts.
If I find a place in that price range I will pass it on to you. I also thought of using the church hall but my church charges $500 to rent the room and I would have to set up and clean up myself and I do not want to do that the day before my wedding. / Thank you for your help sweetie! I'm also going to call our church to see how much they would charge for us to use their room.

We have started looking at prices for RD and $20/person is a really low budget. I am looking into places for lunch for 40 on a Saturday afternoon and so far my lowest quote is around $32/person. Is there a family member who would let you use their home and you could have food catered for $20/person or less.

it can be hard to find a place for $20pp, most charge about $30 and up...but doesnt mean there arent any places out there that will do it for $20pp. Just might have to do a little bit more searching but it can be done.
A couple of girls on the 08 boards have said they got it for about $20-25 per person at a pizzeria/restaurant. I think some said this place in LI called papa joes they got a great deal
also alot of girls i remember saying they got better prices at a chinese food restaurant.
I check out Papa Joes, and I'll look into a chinese Buffet.

Re: Rehearsal Dinner
Im going to do it where ever we are living at the time. We cant afford it out so we will bring in food and drinks. We are just having the BP with a guest, my son, mom and his parents.
