Where To Host A BBQ Themed Rehearsal Dinner

Barebeque themed rehearsal dinners don’t have to be in your backyard…but they can be! Hosting your rehearsal dinner in your backyard or at your home can help save costs. It’s a budget friendly option that will still allow for a fun celebration.

If you’re choosing to host a bbq rehearsal dinner not at home, opt for a rustic venue. Think barns, outdoor pavilions, or even your favorite BBQ restaurant.

What Food To Serve At A BBQ Themed Rehearsal Dinner

Well, for a BBQ themed rehearsal dinner you’ll want some of those nostalgic BBQ foods. You can go traditional with barbeque like brisket, pulled pork, and pulled chicken. Or, you can go with a backyard theme and serve classic grilled burgers.

Consider the three options for food: DIY, cater it in, or have it served.

  1. You can DIY your BBQ rehearsal dinner food by electing friends and family members to help cook the food at the event for you. A lot of the other side dishes and foods can be prepped ahead of time!

  2. You can have it catered! BBQ restaurants are known for their great catering options. Place your catering order ahead of time and have the food delivered or picked up. Again, you can prep the plates and utensils and tables ahead of time.

  3. You can have the food served up for you by hosting your rehearsal dinner at a separate venue. If you host at an outdoor pavilion, consider hiring a BBQ food truck to come and serve your guests. Or, host your rehearsal dinner at a BBQ restaurant if you want everything done for you!

What Decor To Use For A BBQ Themed Rehearsal Dinner

For your rehearsal dinner, don’t forget those little details that make a huge impact on your guests! Decor details like personalized utensil bags are a fun option for a BBQ themed rehearsal dinner. Consider using checkered napkins, tablecloths or table runners for a classic BBQ theme.

To keep in line with your wedding weekend, opt for a beautiful welcome sign to welcome your guests and some fun themed I DO BBQ balloons!
