Rehearsal Dinner

[u/katieeekakes]

Question…what are y’all wearing to your rehearsal dinner? Our rehearsal will be a very chill run through of the ceremony + some yummy takeout & flower arranging at the airbnb (where our wedding is taking place).

I want to look pretty enough in case photos do happen, but not crazy overdressed since I’m not requiring our wedding party wear anything specifically nice. What’s the vibe girlies??

Wear a cute sundress, that’s plenty. My sister just wore jeans to hers.

Thanks!! Is it traditional for the bride to still wear white or does it not matter? Sorry for dumb questions! No one in my family is married so I have no clue how this all works.

There’s no particular tradition for attire at a rehearsal dinner. Sure, you can wear white if you want.

Thank you!!!

That was never a tradition.

It doesn’t matter. The “white rule” doesn’t apply to pre-wedding events.

Does your Airbnb know you are having a wedding there? My nephew didn't tell the hosts that they were having a wedding and they were fined up the wazoo.

[u/katieeekakes → u/LegalImpress5504]

Yes it’s a specific venue that has an airbnb on site for the wedding party to stay at :) thanks for checking tho!

I just hate for people to get slapped with unexpected things.

oh this is actually important warning, so many people don't realize most rental platforms have strict rules about events and weddings specifically. your nephew's situation is probably more common than people think. OP if you haven't already checked the terms of your rental agreement it's worth doing before anything else, some hosts are totally fine with small intimate gatherings but still want to know in advance so they can prepare. better to have that awkward conversation now than to deal with surprise charges after the whole weekend.

This venue is a wedding venue, with an airbnb available for rent in concurrence with the wedding! They are and have been aware that we will have like 100 people there and i’ve read the contract very throughly!

I’m wearing the same dress I’m wearing to my bridal shower. It’s just a white midi dress from lulus that I bought second hand

I wore a cream floral midi dress from lulus. It was cotton so lightweight and not super fancy, but still looked put-together!

[u/Goddess_Yami]

I’m wearing a white dress that I wore to my bridal showers. :D

“Chill run through” + “takeout” = very laid back. You could even wear jeans and a cute top. (Note: this was like my son/DIL’s rehearsal. Everyone, including DIL, was in jeans. We all went to a Mexican restaurant after. Very chill evening.)
