Three months before your wedding, it is time to start planning for the rehearsal dinner. You will want to order rehearsal dinner invitations to reflect the type of party you are having.

Traditionally the responsibility of the groom’s family, rehearsal dinners today are often hosted by the bride and groom, which gives you free range to express your individuality and interests as a couple. Your only limit is your imagination and of course your budget! Having a rehearsal dinner is a beautiful way to spend some time before the big day with your bridal party, families and those dear friends that traveled long distance to be with you.

The rehearsal dinner is generally held immediately following the wedding rehearsal, the night (or two) before the big event. It does not have to be formal, in fact many couples who are having a formal wedding prefer to have a more casual rehearsal dinner.
