Rehearsal Dinner Etiquette & Style

Rehearsal dinner is a tradition were the bride, the groom, their immediate family, the wedding party, the officiant and his/her spouse come together to celebrate and get ready for the next day.  Typically this dinner happens immediately after the rehearsal.   It is etiquette for the groom's family to pay and host this event.  Invitations should be sent to the invited guests about 4-5 weeks prior.  If you have close family or friends who are coming in town just for your wedding, it is appropriate to invite them.

The big question, what should you wear?  I have put together some options for you to be inspired by. Short, long, light, bright and bold are all styles that are fun to wear to your dinner.  Here are some looks for you...

You can never go wrong with a little black dress.
