If you don't mind sharing, how much did you/your in laws spend on the rehearsal dinner? My fiancé really wanted this one great restaurant/bar because it's fire house themed (he's a firefighter and many of our groomsmen are too) but when I priced it out for the room rental, beverages/bar, apps, dinner, and dessert even with the most basic packages available, it was almost $3500 which seems astronomical! I priced out another nice place in the area and that was still $2500 for the most basic packages they had available. Am I being unrealistic? Do rehearsal dinners actually cost this much?! We have no idea if his parents are going to be willing/able to pitch in for the rehearsal so we're trying to figure out a cost-effective option in case they want to but also in case we have to pay for it. For reference we're getting married in October 2021, our rehearsal will be on a Thursday, and our rehearsal dinner will have between 30-40 people.
