Plan Your Rehearsal Dinner Like a Pro
- Keep the guest list small: Traditionally, rehearsal dinner guest lists include the couple, their immediate family and the wedding party. A small guest list will you relax the night before the ceremony.
- Give ample notice: Make sure you invite your guests well ahead of time so you can gather an accurate headcount and reserve the space you'll need.
- Be transparent about the dress code: Finding the right thing to wear can be stressful for guests. Set a clear dress code for your rehearsal dinner so everyone feels comfortable that they're wearing the appropriate attire.
- Know when to call it a night: Your rehearsal dinner will most likely take place the night before your wedding, and you'll need plenty of energy for your big day. Try not to stay out too late so you and your wedding party can get a good night's sleep.
