So this was a really fun night! I really enjoyed both the rehearsal and the dinner, we had a great time.
The rehearsal itself only took a few minutes. We were at the restaurant for the dinner very early. They told us how to walk and what we were supposed to do, and it was nice and easy. The venue had a Maitre D that was basically the wedding planner and she told us what to do. The one thing that kind of didn't really work out was what they said to do with the flowers and fluffing the dress. Fluffing dresses is not easy to do in heels, and they told me to hand my flowers to the other bridesmaid, hold the brides flowers and then return them to the bride and then get my bouquet back. The bride and groom held hands during the ceremony... so I was holding the brides bouquet. So yeah... that was the only slightly different thing.
So that was all easy and for the dinner we went to a pizza place that we go to every week more or less... so they know us and we're regulars. And the food was good... everything was good.
The bride and groom gave their presents to the bridal party, parents and family that night too, so that was fun. My sister got us things to use that day, and things we could use again and again after that... so that was good. My sister really did the best job picking everything out. She's very thoughtful and I really loved everything.
We had the rehearsal a few days before the wedding. Her wedding was on a Sunday and the rehearsal was on a Thursday, so that was nice. We had a couple days to kind of relax before the wedding and we all really liked that. I'll do a blog on the last couple days before the wedding too because that's a fun read I think. Lol.
And we only invited people in the wedding and their family. So the flower girl and the other bridesmaid (her mom) and their family were there. The grooms family was there. The best man and his wife and my family. I think there are people that have more people at their rehearsal dinner... but it was a big group that was a lot of fun to be around. We just had a small restaurant, so that worked best for us. It doesn't really matter how few or how many people you invite, but it was very nice.
And thats it! Hope you all liked it!
Byeee!
