I need some ideas! I know traditionally the rehearsal dinner is usually taken care of by the Groom's parents. That's where our issue comes in. My fiance's mother is deceased and he does not know his birth father. His step father and he are estranged since his mom's passing in 2006. This is just another part of an event that I will need to tack on to my planning and work into our budget. We are looking at a venue that is cost friendly as well as them giving the option to hire your own caterer or bring your own home made food in. That should help us save some $ to put toward bigger parts of our wedding. We know sometimes people choose very fancy rehearsal dinners however, in our area that isn't always a requirement, so please no judgey comments, as we are cutting back costs due to COVID anyways. We are wondering what type of foods would be good to serve at a rehearsal dinner...Remember....we aren't doing Filet Mingon and lobster tails here.. Also what kind of decor is typically done for rehearsal dinners, and what kind of things do you do there? I've only been to 3! One was in the groom's parents garage for a BBQ. One was at the groom's mother's house outside for a BBQ and one was at the place of the reception in a smaller room and a taco bar was served. This is traditionally where I've seen the couple thank people for being a part of their wedding, give the wedding party their gifts, etc.
