No matter what your budget is you can have a great Rehearsal dinner if you use a little ingenuity and imagination. Contrary to what you may think it doesn’t have to be formal or even a sit down dinner. The idea is for close friend and family of the happy couple to have one last get-together before the big event.
The great thing about a Rehearsal Dinner is that there are no set rules. Depending on your personality and budget you can create any type of dinner party you want.
Traditionally the Rehearsal Dinner is hosted by the groom’s parents. But it is now becoming more common for the bride and groom to host their own dinner.
If you are throwing your own party, here are some ideas you might want to consider.
Formal Party A formal Dinner is nice if you are having a small party for twenty people or less. You can host the party at your favorite resturant. Usually you allow your guests to order off the menu.
Pizza Party This is a fun idea for groups who want a very casual party. The party can be hosted at a friends home or at your favorite pizza parlor. A pizza party is a great way to relax your guests before the formal wedding.
Pot Luck Dinner If you are low on cash, a potluck dinner is a great idea. Ask your in-town guests to bring their favorite food and host a party at your home (or friends house). Be sure to organize in advance what your guests will bring. You would not want to end up with five plates of ham sandwiches and no desserts. A potluck dinner is a great way for friends and family to spend time together without going into debt.

The Dinner Club $14.63 "Are you a Nicci French fan? Then read The Dinner Club."-Beau Monde "A thrilling read."-De Telegraaf "An exciting novel that is also a morality tale laced with biting satire."-Het Parool When Evert dies in his burning villa, everything points to suicide. The other members of the "dinner club," a group of five women who meet regularly and whose husbands do business together, rally around to support Babette, his grieving widow. But events soon spiral out of control. Within weeks, a member of the club falls from the balcony of a hotel and dies. Something is poisoning their smug world of flashy SUVs, coffee mornings, and wine-filled evenings and bringing death in its wake. This is a high-spirited, sexy, and ingeniously plotted tale about people desperate to hang on to the trappings of success-at any cost. Imagine Desperate Housewives scripted by Patricia Highsmith. That’s The Dinner Club. Saskia Noort is a freelance journalist and writes features for, among others, the Dutch editions of Marie Claire and Playboy. Her first thriller, Back to the Coast, was published to great acclaim in 2003. The Dinner Club followed in 2004 and, with over 300,000 copies sold, has topped the Dutch bestseller list. |
