Wedding Rehearsal Dinner Tips
A major component of wedding planning is the wedding rehearsal dinner, which usually occurs after the wedding rehearsal itself. Of course, plan the wedding rehearsal and wedding rehearsal dinner to be held before the wedding ceremony. A rehearsal usually takes place a day or two prior to the wedding.
Typically, most families embrace the idea of a rehearsal dinner, as it's a great way to exchange ideas and good wishes. For those families that live across the miles, a wedding rehearsal dinner provides an excellent "getting to know you better" situation. And while a wedding rehearsal dinner is not mandatory, it usually is expected and is usually part of most wedding planning. Relaxation is an important aspect of having a wedding . Especially if you want it to become everything you've dreamed it to be.
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the payment of such a dinner. Who pays for the wedding rehearsal dinner? Traditionally, the grooms parents plan and pay for the dinner. Nevertheless, anyone can host and finance a wedding rehearsal dinner. Nothing is actually ‘set in stone.' Nowadays families bend and blend, creating their own traditions within their own families.
Important things to consider if you are expected to host a wedding rehearsal are:
Booking reservations in advance at a restaurant
Choosing selections on the menu
Creating a Guest List
Phoning those who are invited
Who should you invite? Most guest lists include the bride, groom, their parents and the members of the wedding party. However, grandparents are often invited as well as the priest, rabbi, or clergyman performing the marriage ceremony. Out-of-town guests too, should be invited if you are inviting extended family.
It's not a necessity to send out formal invitations to a wedding rehearsal dinner. Typically, a phone call is sufficient. Despite this, many modern blended; distant; and extended families to occasionally opt for invitations. Should you decide to send wedding rehearsal invitations to family members, remember to accommodate the costs of your invitations in your wedding rehearsal dinner budget.
Your invitations should be very basic and simple. In addition to a map and driving directions (to the restaurant), your statement should be very short and concise:
Please Join us for a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner
in Honor of (Bride's Name) and (Groom's Name)
at (this location)
at (this time)
RSVP: (Hosts Name) at (phone number)
If you do have out-of-towners attending, a carpool is an excellent idea. It's very easy for out-of-towners as your loved one may get lost. A wedding rehearsal dinner is a celebration, carpooling is also a great idea if there will be drinking and driving. Always choose a designated driver or you can volunteer to be the driver.

Ask a girl to come to my place for dinner?
I've been talking to this cute girl who work at coffee house. I've decided I'd like to get know to her more.
Since she work at a coffee house, I don't think she would be too eager to go to restaturant or out for a coffee. I don't watch television or movies so theater is out. So I'm thinking about having her come to my place so I can cook dinner for both of us.
Would that be a good plan for first time or not?
Well, first I'd kinda talk to her and and find out what she likes. She may be a vegetarian or have allergic reactions to seafood or what ever. Does she drink? Maybe you could get her to meet you after work for a beer, wine, or drink. Maybe an appetizer. this would give you a good indication of whether she drinks as well as giving you clues to the kind of food she eats. Just kinda go with the flow. You know kinda give it a few days. This way you'll be able to feel her out. you'll know more about what she likes. AND personally, any guy, friend or foe, who wants to cook dinner for me, well, I'm impressed! Just don't get all gourmet, just relax and be yourself. Fix something you really know how to fix. Spaghetti is always a winner.Throw a salad together(together) and some garlic bread. Have a good wine breathing and There ya go. Have a hobby show it to her. remember she'll be a little nervous, too. So play it cool. Get a movie she would like to see. When it's getting late, walk her to her car, tell her you were glad she came for dinner, give her a sweet kiss. and say goodbye....
If she enjoyed everything .... the best is yet to be!
One more thing.. ask her to call you when she gets home so you know she made it home all right!
