In all the hoopla surrounding the actual wedding, planning the rehearsal dinner is easy to put way down the \u201cto-do\u201d list. But it plays a more important role than you might think and can help set the tone for a perfect event. Birkat Elyon <\/a>is in the business of providing couples with beautiful CZ engagement <\/a>and wedding rings<\/a>; we\u2019ve got expert tips for making this part of your wedding celebration seamless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DON\u2019T WAIT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though the rehearsal dinner is a pretty laid-back\naffair, don\u2019t put off making the arrangements. That can make it harder to find\na venue and also adds unnecessary stress. Book your place nine months ahead\n(minimum). Six months before the Big Day, finalize your guest list and menu.\nTwo months out, mail the invitations and track the RSVPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DON\u2019T NEGLECT OUT-OF-TOWNERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rehearsal dinners typically include family and members of\nthe wedding party. But it\u2019s a nice gesture to include those coming to the\nwedding from out of town, as a way to thank them for their time and effort. Of\ncourse, if yours is a destination wedding where almost everyone is from \u201cout of\ntown,\u201d consider throwing a small party for guests after the dinner itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DON\u2019T JUST \u201cWING\u201d THE BUDGET<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In days gone by, the groom\u2019s parents paid for the rehearsal\ndinner. But times have changed and today, the couple often covers the cost. For\nthat reason, it\u2019s smart to allocate part of your wedding budget to this event.\nA lot of factors may influence the final tally, but a ballpark average runs\nabout $1,350.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DON\u2019T OVERLOOK DIETARY ISSUES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a thoughtful idea to provide a place on your rehearsal\ndinner RSVP card for your guests to note any diet restrictions. You can also\noffer a vegan or vegetarian entree as well as gluten and dairy-free options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DON\u2019T SKIP THE LITTLE DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little things can make the difference between a truly\nenjoyable rehearsal dinner and an awkward evening. For example, let guests know\nwhen the dinner is scheduled to begin rather than having those not involved in\nthe ceremony wander around waiting. Also, place cards allow you to put people\ntogether who will best enjoy each other\u2019s company and conversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
