I think it's up to you. I know some aren't. Some are bc they are introducing the partners and giving a brief explanation of what is gonna happen.

My Ceremony is at the hall and I don't plan on having a Rehearsal Dinner. I don't think it will be needed in this case.

We are having the rehearsal dinner two nights before somewhere local. My dad wants to do something since FH and I are paying for the wedding. We would actually have a rehearsal but our venue does them on Thursday evenings so since we are all in SI or Brooklyn and the venue is in Smithtown, so thats not happening.

This post just made me so excited! I never even thought about this but now it's one more fun thing to do or not do! I think we will have a dinner with our whole bridal party either way- that way everyone is in the same room, they get to meet each other, and we can have a fun night together. YAY! This is going to be so fun! :D :D I think you should make the decision based on your budget. If it is going to be really expensive, then don't or do something like a homemade dinner (which is wonderful) and if you have the money have a nice dinner :D

We're having a 'rehearsal dinner', but only because his dad offered to have it. We're getting married on Sunday, and probably having it Friday night, as more of an excuse to just get everyone together and run through little details (possibly hand out bridal party gifts as well).

We will have a 'rehearsal dinner' even though we aren't actually going to be rehearsing anything. We really plan to just let everyone know what order they'll be walking in and give out little thank you gifts to everyone in the wedding. We wont be having anything crazy though and plan to just use it as more of an excuse to get all our closest friends together and have a good time.

I really don't want to but the moms feel otherwise lol. We wont be rehearsing, but will have a [hopefully] intimate dinner the night before just to really thank parents + BP and spend time together.

We will probably have a rehearsal since there are many in the bridal party who don't know each other. Also, I like the idea of hanging out and giving gifts to them then as well.

That's a nice idea! I think it's good to do a dinner whether you are having a rehearsal or not, even if it's something small and casual. It's an opportunity to get together with close family & the bridal party before the big event, give gifts, etc.

I am still up in the air. I was going to do something small and with the bridal party only and parents of the bride and groom but I don't see it happening. I know FMIL wants to invite some of the out of town guests and I just don't have the extra. I guess closer to the date FH and I will make the decision on having one or not.Welcome New Vendors
