Rehearsal Time? Please help decide-(kinda long)

I'm having my rehearsal/dinner the night before my wedding, but I am not sure what time I should have it.
The options are 6:00pm, 7:00pm & 7:30pm.
- Is 6:00pm too early (I'm in Lake Ronkonkoma & have people coming from Staten Island & Nassau County) to expect people to get to the church on a day that some of them may work? (not the ones from Staten Island.. but the ones from Nassau County will probably be working that day)
- Is 7:00pm better? But then the dinner won't start until 7:45-8:00ish and will most likely be at least 2 hrs, if not more... which means I won't get home until after 10:00pm if I'm lucky! My family/friends like to talk! lol!

I don't want to be out late the night before my wedding. I just don't know what to do.
Unfortunately for me, 6:30pm is booked already! That would have been perfect.

My FH says to do whatever makes me feel better, my best friend, dad & brother say 6:00pm and my mom & sister say 7:00pm.

I say 6:00pm. Have it done early. It's the Friday before 4th of July, people take off from work anyway or leave early, so they'll make it. I know I won't work a full day. You can't afford to get home too late, you need your beauty sleep girl!

Yeah, 6pm should be okay since it's the friday before 4th of July. But then you may also be dealling with traffic (rush hour, holiday traffic). What time is your wedding?

Well, my wedding is on the Friday before the 4th, so the rehearsal dinner will be on that Thursday.
I think I am going to do 6pm.

Duh! And I totally looked at the calendar too, just to see what date the wedding fell on. Excuse my brain fart. I still think 6pm is best.

If it helps, I'm also getting married the Friday before a major holiday (Memorial Day) and am having my rehearsal Thursday at 6pm. I want to get some rest!

That's ok! It's late!

Thank You!
