Obviously you want to spend as much time with them as you can, and, well, everyone needs to eat! The\u00a0main point of a rehearsal dinner is to focus on all the special people in your life who want to hang out with you and vice versa. When done well, rehearsal dinners are a bright spot in the craziness that is the pre-wedding week. It&#8217;s a few blissful hours where you don\u2019t have to juggle logistics among 15 other things, as\u00a0most big\u00a0activities take place at\u00a0the wedding,\u00a0such as\u00a0cake cutting, first dances and cocktail hour. However, the one activity you may want to think having at your rehearsal dinner is toasts. Toasts are a\u00a0great way to a) have people who won&#8217;t be speaking at your wedding say a few words,\u00a0and b)\u00a0enjoy toasts in a more intimate, low-pressure environment.<\/p>\n<p><img

than weddings, there are definitely cases where the reverse can work&#8211;think a big, intimate sit-down dinner the day before your wedding and a picnic or other casual affair on your actual wedding day. Basically, you can use the rehearsal dinner to fulfill any part of your wedding fantasy that isn&#8217;t happening the day of. You can also just use it to get people together and introduce them to one another. Options can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The Traditional Dinner:<\/strong> The most traditional\u00a0rehearsal dinner format features\u00a0everyone present at the rehearsal (wedding party, officiant, immediate family, and all partners of these people) at a restaurant for a lovely meal directly after the rehearsal.\u00a0Sometimes the guest list is expanded to include extended family or guests from out of town, although with so many people doing the destination wedding thing, \u201cout of town guests\u201d can mean most of your guest list. This format is generally the most formal, however you can opt for a more causal affair if desired.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The House Party:<\/strong> A totally fun option, house parties allow key players (family, wedding party, close\u00a0friends) to hang out and get to know each other better before the big day. Other affordable ways to have a rehearsal dinner at your house or a friend&#8217;s house include taco trucks, barbecues and deli-catered party trays. Think about how would you normally feed a large group of people, as it&#8217;s probably a fabulous option for a pre-wedding dinner at home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The &#8220;We&#8217;ll Be Here, Come Drink a Beer&#8221;:<\/strong> Probably the easiest (and definitely cheapest) pre-wedding event option\u00a0is to pick a convenient bar and let people know either on the invitations or wedding website. Say where you&#8217;ll be and when, and if anyone wants to stop by for a drink you\u2019d love it. Make it clear it\u2019s not hosted, or pick\u00a0an establishment\u00a0with affordable pitchers, then let\u00a0everyone pick up the tab if they want additional drinks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Additional Options:<\/strong> Other options include field days, wine tastings, pool parties, softball games, bonfires\u2014really, any group activity\u00a0works as a pre-wedding group shindig!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11144\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11144\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-11144 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-1024x1003.png\" alt=\"rehearsal dinner themes\" width=\"768\" height=\"752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-1024x1003.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-800x783.png 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-300x294.png 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-768x752.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-500x490.png 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-672x658.png 672w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-1149x1125.png 1149w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM.png 1160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11144\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11144 \" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-1024x1003.png\" alt=\"rehearsal dinner themes\" width=\"768\" height=\"752\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-1024x1003.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-800x783.png 800w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-300x294.png 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-768x752.png 768w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-500x490.png 500w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-672x658.png 672w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM-1149x1125.png 1149w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Screen-Shot-2014-03-10-at-10.37.52-PM.png 1160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Source: http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/30751209929772781\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Wedding planning can\u00a0make things seem more complicated and stressful than they really are, and this can certainly include the rehearsal dinner.\u00a0But remember, it doesn&#8217;t have to be like that!
