Southwestern Michigan is one of the most beautiful places in the world to get married. Whether you want to get married here for our beautiful planes, fair weather, lovely beaches, or just because it’s home, Southwestern Michigan has a venue for you. And let’s not forget, Lake Michigan is one of the most striking freshwater bodies of water in the world.
With so many locations, it can be tough to choose the right place for your special day. For that reason, we’re taking this month’s blog post to discuss how and why you should host your rehearsal dinner in Kalamazoo.
How to Plan Your Rehearsal Dinner
Planning your rehearsal dinner is an important step to making sure your wedding goes as smoothly as possible. Luckily, you can save yourself on stress by preparing well enough in advance.
Figure Out Who’s Hosting
Often times, rehearsal dinners are paid for by the parents of the groom. However, this is nowhere near a hard and fast rule. Sometimes the bride’s parent’s pay, the both sides of parents pay together, or even the bride and groom pay. Everyone’s situation is different, but it’s important to establish in advance which parties are paying in order to begin planning.
Create a Guest List
If you haven’t already, you’ll want to create a guest list for who’s attending. Now that you’ve selected a host and hopefully discussed a budget, you can figure out how many people you’d like to attend. Remember to keep in mind dietary restrictions as you write down your guests—that way you can make sure you have a menu that works for everyone.
Coordinate with the Venue and Catering
Finally, it’s time to start coordinating with the venue and any wedding rehearsal catering services. Some wedding venues will help organize catering services or even provide catering in-house, which can be both a big money-saver and headache-avoider.
