Rehearsal Question

i did a search, but found no answer to this question. what time is/was everyone's rehearsal? i just scheduled mine, and assumed they would tell me what time, but he gave me a choice between 4, 5, 7, or 8. help!!

Re: Rehearsal Question

are you having a dinner afterwards? and will the people who need to rehearse be at work still if you do it at 4 or 5? if so, do it at 7 if it will take about an hour- and then go to your dinner if you are having one afterwards.

Re: Rehearsal Question

I thought the church tells you what time your rehearsal is, and how long it would be. Then you add travel time and that's what time dinner is. I would call your ceremony location and see what they say. Also, depending on the day of the week, people might have to work.

Re: Rehearsal Question

i thought about the people working thing, but... i dont want it to be too late. i would have gladly accepted 6pm but that's the one time i can't have. if i pick 7pm we wont be done until 8pm, at the rd place until 8: 30pm, eating until 9pm, etc... is that too late?

Re: Rehearsal Question

our rehersal is at 7:30, so we wouln't be getting to the rest. until late as well, maybe it is a little better that way that way people wouln't have to rush around after work. i know eating that late seems funny, but it should be okay. thankfully, our rehersal is on the thursday before the wedding, not the night before.

Re: Rehearsal Question

IMO, I would take 5pm. That way by the time the dinner starts it will be 6pm or a little after and then you can be sure you get out of there at a reasonable hour the night beofer the wedding.

We did not have a choice so our rehearsal was at 4pm, followed by drinks at 5pm and then dinner at 6pm. We left the restaurant at 9pm.

Re: Rehearsal Question

We had our rehearsal the day of the wedding. They did the rehearsal w/out me at 10:30 am b/f my 12pm wedding. It worked out fine. We had a meet and greet dinner the night before.

Re: Rehearsal Question

you know your attendees better than us. Do you work close enough to shoot over to the ceremony from work, or if they miss it, do they have a vital role?? I'd consider them missing the rehersal, but having an earlier dinner/thank you time.

the last rehersal I went to all we did was walk down the aisle. They did no vow rehersal, cueing readers, etc. (but I guess all churches are different?)

I was told my church only does rehersals on thursday (wedding is sunday) I was kind of bummed when I found out my MOH might not arrive in town until the next day (friday) I really wanted her there

Re: Rehearsal Question

I guess it depends on your bridal party. My Church only does rehearsals on Friday and the first one starts at 7:30. I don't think they are too involved though since they said they are only a half an hour. At first I thought this was late and was going to try and switch to 7. But I realized I have people traveling long distance and I wouldn't want them to have to leave work too early that day. So I left it. But I am trying to find a restaurant very close so we all don't get too hungry!!
