When are you having your rehearsal dinner?

Original post by magbride

Night before? Two nights? Or week before?

I know night before is ideal for bridal party, if they're not centrally located and/or OOT guests. We're not having our OOT guests (we hardly have any and they all have family here so it would be opening a bigger can of worms). I'd rather do it on the thursday before my saturday wedding. I know it's selfish, but I want relax the night before. I don't want to drink alcohol or eat anything salty b/c I get puffy so easily. And my future in-laws will definitely want to party. LOL.

So what are you doing?

I would have prefered to have it two nights before, so I could relax the night before...but we have too many OOT guests in our bridal party so we had to do it the night before

ours is the night before and late... got a lot of grief about it from parents but it is easiest for BP and me.

The church rehearsal doesnt start til 730 and then dinner at 845... it'll be a late night and an early morning the next day but all the excitement and adrenaline will keep us lively!

We are having our rehearsal the week before. My FBIL just got married in Feb and had a Sunday wedding and their rehearsal was the Thursday night before. It was fine. I think people would appreciate having at least a day in between to recooperate and rest up for the wedding.

Two nights before at the church, then off to dinner at the sagamore Steak House in Syosset

I'm feel so unprepared! My wedding is only 3 months away, and I have no idea when I'm going to have my rehearsal dinner! I have a lot of people coming from out of town, so I have to wait to find out when they'll be getting in to L.I.
I'm guessing it will end up being the night before the wedding though.

We're having ours the night before- just about ebvryone in our BP is from OOT, so we didn't want them to have to take off Thursday to come for the rehearsal.
