I have decided to change my rehearsal dinner plans from having it a hotel banquet hall with all the out of town guest, immediate family and bridal party, to just the bridal party and immediate family members at one of our favorite restaurants.The restaurant I would like to have the rehearsal dinner is 40 minutes away from the venue where we will be having the rehearsal. Is that too far away?
Also, the rehearsal dinner would have to take place before the actual rehearsal. Is that odd?
