Rehearsal Dinner tab
The Warm Beginning to Your Wedding Weekend
Plan the dinner that brings everyone together the night before the big day.
Your wedding. Your checklist. All in one place.
Your rehearsal dinner tab comes with a pre-populated task list covering everything from venue deposits and RSVPs to confirming speakers and toasts. Edit any task, add your own, set due dates, and assign tasks to a partner. All dated tasks sync to your planner calendar so nothing slips through in the final weeks.
If a task does not apply to your plans, you can hide it without losing it. Hidden tasks stay saved and can be restored any time plans change.
Rehearsal dinner FAQ
- Who is traditionally supposed to host and pay for the rehearsal dinner?
- Traditionally the groom's family hosts and pays for the rehearsal dinner, but that is no longer a strict rule. Many couples host it themselves, split it with both families, or keep it casual with a restaurant buyout. The most important thing is that the people in your ceremony have a chance to relax together the night before.
- Who do you invite to a rehearsal dinner?
- The core list is everyone who will be in the ceremony: both partners, the wedding party, officiant, and immediate family. Many couples also include out-of-town guests who traveled far, close family friends, and sometimes the ceremony vendors such as the photographer or coordinator. The size depends entirely on your venue and budget.
- How far in advance should I plan a rehearsal dinner?
- Start locking in the venue and caterer at least three to four months before the wedding, especially if your wedding falls on a holiday weekend or in a popular venue market. Save your task due dates in the planner and they will sync to your calendar so nothing slips through the final weeks of planning.
