The Wedding Day Is A Lot Of Peoples' Primary Focus, But The Rehearsal Dinner Can Be Memorable, Too

There are numerous preparations, expenses and stresses that go hand in hand with arranging a wedding day. If couples aren't careful they can get so involved with planning the wedding and endeavoring to get all the details right that there's little time to enjoy the experience. When my niece was planning her wedding she had three bridal showers to be at, reception plans to make and was endeavoring to find a venue for the rehearsal dinner. The third bridal shower was given at my house. I'm her godmother so I had wanted to make it really special for her. Shortly before the bridal shower we talked on the telephone. She sounded very anxious. She and her fiance were also having difficulties finding the best wedding songs for the ceremony. I recommended that she arrive the night before the wedding shower and stay the night and we would kick back and I would help her organize a list of what still had to be done prior to the wedding. She thought this sounded like a wonderful plan.

I did the majority of the preparations for the wedding shower prior to my niece getting there so that we could focus on her to do list. She shared that the rehearsal dinner was her main stress due to the fact that the spot they had reserved had double booked, so they needed to find a new location. We began by working on finding the best wedding songs for the wedding day so we could get one requirement out of the way thereby giving a good feeling that the other would be dealt with as well. As I predicted finding the best wedding songs was just a matter of searching the net, listening to samples, ordering what was selected and that was that. Now on to the rehearsal dinner.

The rehearsal supper is historically arranged by the groom's family; the truth is a number of individuals refer to the occasion as the groom's supper. My niece's fiance is from another state so his family is willing to pay for the rehearsal dinner, but they're not able to assist with making the plans. My niece had reached out to the restaurant where the wedding reception will be located, but the only space available was the section where the wedding reception would be happening. My niece stated that the plan was to decorate the wedding reception area prior to going to the church for the rehearsal.

We called two nearby restaurants to see if they could host the rehearsal dinner. Both had other happenings planned. Her fiance's parents are divorced, also both have married again. This meant that there were additional people that would be at the rehearsal dinner. This was also adding to her stress because she was attempting to suss out the etiquette for seating. She had the seating chart figured out for the wedding day, but not knowing where the rehearsal dinner would be happening diminished her opportunity to plan a chart.

I asked my niece if she had called the church to find out if the fellowship area would be open. Everyone could just socialize and have a light catered meal. This would be much less formal and would be easy to plan. The fellowship area was open that date. We called two delis and ordered food. My niece called her fiance and told him the new plans for the rehearsal dinner. He thought this sounded great. He would make preparations to have a pal of his tend bar and would set up for the drinks.

The rehearsal dinner was a nice relaxed evening. The guests were able to mingle and socialize and the bride and groom didn't feel the need to sit in one spot while everyone ordered their food and had it served. With having a buffet line the atmosphere was very casual and the out of town guests did not have to try to find another site in an area that they weren't familiar with.
