I let my mil have complete control. She had mine catered in a historical home.

OK, UK Pea-brained question here - but what is a rehearsal dinner please? I'm confused lol... Typically in the US, there is a rehearsal the night before the wedding for those participating in the ceremony. People hear their cues, figure out where to stand, etc. After the rehearsal, the groom's parents traditionally host a dinner for those participating (in some cases out of town guests are also invited). Thanks Darcy, I thought it would prolly be something along those lines - but the night before? Isn't that traditionally hen and stag nite territory? |

Hmm that's a bit of different terminology there! Bachelor parties were typically held the night before, but someone had the great insight that being hung over on one's wedding day wasn't perhaps the best tradition. Especially now when you factor in the desire for full weekend escapades in Vegas - most are held the weekend before or in some cases months before. Women didn't join in the fun until the last few decades. I don't think I've ever been invited to a bachelorette party that wasn't at least a week before the wedding. |
