I'm getting married on a Friday. However the week before is all saints day and Halloween so we can't do it then. Church gave us option of night before or during the week. Or maybe I can ask for 2 weeks before. What are your opinions? I originally didn't want night before because I don't want to be stressing. But is like a Tuesday random? I also have an out of town bridesmaid not that I expect her to come if I have it early.
What's the best way to do this?

Don't do it the night before.
We did ours on Thursday for our Saturday wedding. Church rehearsal was at 6pm and dinner did not end until 11:30. I needed to be up at 6am the day of the wedding.
I suggest doing it either Tuesday or Wednesday before your wedding. If that is not possible, do it the week before.

Were getting married on a Friday as well. Doing our rehersal Thursday at 5 and dinner at 7. I think doing it the night before makes more sense personally. All out of towners will be in and everything will be fresh in everyones minds the next day.

This...Our rehearsal is at 6pm, dinner will be immediately after. 5/7 of FH's GM are from Florida, so if we did it any earlier, none of them would be here.

We're actually doing our rehearsal on All Saint's Day. Did they tell you why you couldn't rehearse that day?

I got married on a Friday and had my rehearsal the day before. We had an early dinner at 3:30 and then had the rehearsal at the church (down the block) at 6:00. So we were done by 6:30, it worked out great!

We're getting married on a saturday and having the rehearsal the night before at 6, dinner immediately following. The church and the restaurant are only 5 mins away from each other. The dinner should be over by 8:30 or so and people can go home and get a good nights sleep. It makes sense because most of the people in our bridal party work a 9-5 job and are taking off Friday to prepare for the wedding anyway.
