The Rehearsal Dinner

Last weekend, I was thumbing through several wedding magazines and came across an interesting article on rehearsal dinners. While I agreed with the author’s opinion on finding the right venue and atmosphere for the occasion , I disagreed with the fact that the choice could not be more casual. To me, the rehearsal dinner should be more relaxed and playful while the wedding day should be opulent and formal. In fact, I love the idea of themed based rehearsal dinners without of course going over the top. Here is one themed based rehearsal dinner that I did with a past bride….

Venue-Mac & Rays

Dress-Cruising Attire

Everyone received a special monogrammed cap upon arrival

Invitations-Fun, chic invites with a sailor theme

When you are thinking about your rehearsal dinner, have some fun with it and enjoy!
