There are so many plans, expenses and anxieties that go together with arranging a wedding day. If couples aren't careful they can get so taken in with planning the event and trying to get all the details right that there is little time to enjoy the experience. When my niece was planning her wedding ceremony she had three bridal showers to go to, reception plans to make and was endeavoring to find a place for the rehearsal dinner. The third shower was scheduled at my home. I'm her godmother so I had wanted to do something unique for her. Shortly before the bridal shower we talked on the telephone. She sounded very pressured. She and her fiance were also having problems deciding on the best wedding songs for the wedding ceremony. I recommended that she come the night before the bridal shower and stay the night and we would kick back and I would help her organize a list of what remained to be done prior to the wedding ceremony. She thought this sounded like a good plan.

I did most of of the preparations for the shower prior to my niece arriving so that we could focus on her to do list. She shared that the rehearsal dinner was her primary stress because the location they had reserved had double booked, so they needed to locate a new location. We started by working on finding the best wedding songs for the wedding so we could get one requirement out of the way thereby giving a good feeling that the other would be dealt with as well. As I thought finding the best wedding songs was just a matter of searching the internet, listening to samples, placing some orders and that was that. Now to settle the rehearsal dinner.

The rehearsal dinner is normally arranged by the groom's family; the truth is a number of individuals refer to the rehearsal dinner as the groom's dinner. My niece's fiance is from a different state so his family is is paying for the rehearsal dinner, but they're not able to help with making the preparations. My niece had reached out to the restaurant where the wedding reception will be located, but the only space available was the part where the wedding reception would be held. My niece explained that the plan was to decorate the reception area prior to going to the church for the rehearsal.

We called two neighboring restaurants to see if they could handle the rehearsal dinner. Both had other happenings planned. Her fiance's parents are divorced, also both have married again. This meant that there were extra people to include in the rehearsal dinner. This was also adding to her tension because she was trying to suss out the etiquette for seating. She had the seating chart figured out for the wedding day, but not knowing where the rehearsal dinner would be located limited her ability to prepare a chart.

I asked my niece if she had called the church to find out if the fellowship area would be accessible. Everyone could just socialize and have a light catered meal. This would be much less formal and would be much less difficult to plan. The fellowship area was available that evening. We called two delis and ordered a buffet meal. My niece called her fiance and told him the new plans for the rehearsal dinner. He thought this sounded fantastic. He would make preparations to have a pal of his tend bar and would set up for the drinks.

The rehearsal dinner was a nice relaxed evening. The guests were able to socialize and mingle and the bride and groom did not feel pressured to sit in one spot while everybody ordered their food and had it served. With having a buffet line the ambiance was very casual and the out of town guests did not have to attempt to find another site in an area that they weren't familiar with.
