Food Truck Park
There’s no better rehearsal dinner to put you at ease with upcoming nuptials like a food truck park. It’s super laid back, and you get a lot of great options for food that everyone can enjoy. Have some picnic tables out so everyone can just chill, and you’ll have a nice distance between you and the future in-laws. Of course, if you like them, then it’s a great setting to have a relaxed conversation with them. Either way a food truck park will allow everyone to feel chill and get ready for the big day.
Wine Tasting
If your tastes are of the finer entity, then opt for a wine tasting. Sure you could go for a beer tasting, but this dinner isn’t all about you bro. Anyways, wine tastings are a great way to get everyone off the edge and to enjoy their time together. You will also get to enjoy a fantastic venue for great photos because you know all the bridesmaid are going to want to Instagram the heck out of that place. This venue can also double as the place where your wedding takes place, so you don’t have to worry about changing decorations too much.
The 70s and 80s Theme
If you are the kind of couple that loves a spectacular costume party, then this is the theme for you! For fun, you and the rest of the wedding party dress up in 70s and 80s wedding attire. It’ll make for a great time! If you plan to cater in food, look up foods that were popular back then and serve that. Better yet, have a candy bar with all the 70s and 80s candy faves. Have a DJ make a playlist with all your favorite 70s and 80s tunes and dance the night away!
Favorite Food or Restaurant
There’s no better time to make a bunch of people eat foods that you love than at your rehearsal dinner. What’s great about this is that you don’t have to worry about choosing the food you hate or food your fiance hates because you both get to choose a menu, you both love! You’lll get major brownie points if you select the restaurant from your first date. Your fiance will love it, the bridesmaids will all be jealous of how sweet you are, and your groomsment will totally be taking notes!
