The night before the wedding, after ironing out the kinks at the church, you'll likely want to celebrate with a rehearsal dinner in the bride and groom's honor. A rehearsal dinner is a great way to get together and calm everyone's nerves about the big day ahead . A rehearsal dinner is traditionally hosted by the groom's parents, as the bride's family traditionally hosts all of the wedding day events. Your rehearsal dinner can be intimate with simply the immediately family members of the bride and groom, along with their wedding party, or elaborate with extended family, friends and out of town guests.
After selecting a location for your party, choose a rehearsal dinner invitation that coordinates with your dinner's theme, whether it's formal, casual or a backyard affair.

At your rehearsal dinner, after dinner is served, the father of the groom traditionally gives a speech to the soon to be wed couple. Other guests may want to continue the speeches, be it the father of the bride or a close relative. The groom may also want to give a small speech to his bride. The bride and groom may also take the opportunity to present their parents and wedding party with their wedding gifts. Be sure to keep the rehearsal dinner fairly short, as you want everyone to be rested before the big day ahead!
