Rehearsal dinner woes...

Rachel, beer and pizza is totally fine. I also didnt interpret your post as ungrateful. LadyPearl, why you so salty today?

Wow, I didn't read that as OP being ungrateful at all. As a matter of fact she is trying to be a good hostess and invite all OOT guests.

I think pizza and beer is just fine! At first I was worried that it would be seen as too casual. But our wedding is very laid back and casual so I feel it would be more weird to have a super fancy RD. Besides who doesn't love pizza and wings??

Thank you @sarah, @kristen and @snowqueen for actually reading my comments and sticking up for me! YOU all get it

ETA: Thank you @Beach and @Caitie too! <3

@Rachel no problem. Can't stand when people are loud AND wrong.

I mean, there are some really terrible people that grace us with their presence on these boards. And, I'm sure it's easy to get jaded and lose faith in people when you read all the terrible ideas. But, I'm not going to throw stones for the sake of throwing stones. Read and process words. It's not hard. lol

I mean, I am a teacher's aide, I could help her out with her reading comprehension

Besides, I get it. I had a mild meltdown because we decided on two readers and having the deacon read the third reading and hubby and his family decided 5 days before the wedding that they wanted to discuss picking a third reader. I was upset at having to make a decision that was already off my to-do list 5 days prior. And that didn't even cost us anything. lol

Seriously @sarah! It's crunch time! Ain't nobody got time for last minute plan changes!

@futuremrs.hodge I want a taco guy!

@Rachel I think pizza, wings, and beer is perfectly okay. I also think it's sweet that you're thinking of your guests like you are. I disagree with those who tell you you don't have to host everyone. While they're technically correct, it seems the only "extra" people you're including in the dinner is your sister, aunt, and uncle and so in this case, I think you should host them as well. They're family and they're traveling. Plus, they're the only ones not in the wedding party so it would just be awkward to ask them to fend for themselves while you host everyone else. All the more reason to do pizza and beer though. You save the money you would have spent on the fancy dinner so you can include these three people.

And @LadyPearl would do well to actually read the thread before replying.

Any chance you could add wine? I think that would round out a very simple, delicious, and satisfying dinner.

@centerpiece we could add wine and hard cider too bc FH doesn't drink beer (he's a weirdo) lol

I did pizza and wings as well. My wedding was a destination wedding. We were 6 hours away and it was fine. Nobody complained or expected anything really.

Pizza, salad, & beer/wine are totally acceptable. Its a rehearsal dinner, it is supposed to be casual!
