Rehearsal Dinner

Due to our venue we were not able to have an actual rehearsal the day before our wedding.  But we still wanted to have a dinner to tell all of our family and friends thank you for all their support and help.

Luke’s parents hosted us a Rehearsal Dinner at a local brewery.  We invited our parents, siblings with spouse and children, grandparents and bridal party. 

Appetizers were server and then dinner.  Dinner was buffet consisting of BBQ burnt ends, chicken, coleslaw, mashed potatoes and rolls.

Since our wedding cake was going to more than enough for our wedding guest we served Luke’s grooms cake at the rehearsal dinner.

Our cake lady did NOT disappoint.  We were both so happy with how well this turned out.  It was all edible except the glass beer bottles.

The bottom layer was strawberry cake with the beer barrel being vanilla cake with Bavarian filled cream {Luke’s favorite}.

We handed out our gifts to our parents and bridal party to show our appreciation.  Luke gave his groomsmen engraved silver cuff links, personalized bottle opener key chains and a bottle of their favorite liquor.  I gave my girls a black sequin clutch and make bag, personalized chevron compact mirror and a bottle of pink Relax wine.  I also paid for their hair and makeup and half of their dresses.

It was great to spend time with everyone!

Although the night ended well, the morning was a whole different story….
