Fun and Cost effective Rehearsal dinner

We are doing a pizza parlor in the Kenosha area...we have a banquet room reserved (costs nothing if we eat there) and are going to be ordering a bunch of pizzas and salads.

We rented out a small community center in a garden. We’re ordering pizzas and salads, and serving beer and wine. Very affordable and easy.

We would’ve done pizza if we’d done a rehearsal dinner, but our rehearsal is the morning of so we aren’t doing a dinner haha

We reserved a shelter at a local county park ($300 for 8 hour rental) and plan to have an afternoon picnic/cookout complete with horseshoes, volleyball, ladderball, etc. It’s gonna be fun, cheaper than most other options, and will be over with by 5pm allowing for ample amount of rest before the big day!

Did you find somewhere to host the rehearsal dinner, Grace? Where did you book?
