timing dilema- a little long
OK, I had planned to have the rehersal the week before the wedding but we just found out that the Pastor won't be in town so we have to do it earlier- like in a week or so-we find out tonight. FH and I are on tight budgets and were only going to get pizza or something for the NY BP for the night after the rehersal.
My plan for the large sit-down dinner was to combine it with my BP and OOT guests in one to save money---that would mainly be my 2 OOT BM- their guys and their mom- who are basically family and my cousins with the BP and any add ons FMIL has- which she'll pay for. This way- 2 birds with one stone. This would be at 7:00 the night before the wedding- we have to get up at about 4:30-5:00 the next morning tho.
My mom thinks that the dinner isn't good to have the night before but my MOH thinks its a good compromise. No one gets left out- I can treat my OOT guests like I wanted to and I'm not paying twice for the BP people who are choosing to stay at the hotel as well.
I know this sounds complicated so if I need to clarify let me know- I just want to make sure there aren't any major issues with this. I don't even care at this point about ettiquite- ettiquite doesn't have to pay my bills!! Thanks for any input/advice/ideas!
