Wedding Rehearsal Inspo FAQs

Q: How do we choose the right theme for our rehearsal dinner?
A: There’s no right or wrong choice. Our best tip is to go opposite the wedding for the rehearsal dinner theme. So if your wedding is formal, go casual for the night before. More info here →

Q: Should our rehearsal dinner have activities or games?
A: They’re not required, but they can help break the ice or cut down on awkward silence between families and guests. Trivia or fun group activities make the night feel festive and relaxed. More ideas here →

Q: Do rehearsal dinner invites need to match the wedding invites?
A: Not at all. Your rehearsal dinner can be more relaxed, so invitations can be playful, themed, or digital if you prefer. More info here →

Q: Can we combine the rehearsal dinner with a welcome party?
A: Yes! Many couples host an intimate dinner first, then open up the evening to all guests with a larger welcome party. It’s a great way to blend both traditions. More info here →

Q: What are some budget-friendly rehearsal dinner ideas?
A: Planning a brunch, or keeping the guest list smaller are all ways to save. Low-key casual themes, like a pizza party, also keep costs down while still feeling special. More tips here →
