Wedding Tips

Spice up your wedding rehearsal dinner

So, Ive seen several things that talk about how to make your rehearsal dinner memorable, but all of those things talk about the decorations, invitations and location of your rehearsal dinner. While those are great ways to make your rehearsal dinner memorable, I think there are even better (and less stressful) ways to spice up your rehearsal dinner.

First off, let’s talk about the mood of the group. Most of the people who are attending your rehearsal dinner are family members and your wedding party… so the people who are the closest to you. You probably know what they can or are willing to do. Don’t do something crazy like a triathlon (unless you know your families are the fit, triathlon types).

Your wedding rehearsal should start the mood of your wedding weekend. Make sure it’s a fun one!

Easy & inexpensive ways to get the rehearsal party hopping!

  • Have your guests collaborate on a piece of art (could be a canvas that they all get to make a paint stroke on or paper they all draw on)
  • Ask the matriarch/patriarch’s of your families to tell embarrassing stories about their children/grandchildren…
  • Have a bonfire
  • Sing karaoke
  • Pit your guests against each other in a friendly competition
    • Play a yard game tournament
    • Play a trivia game
    • Go bowling or play a few rounds at Topgolf
    • Do a scavenger hunt (could be as easy as a purse/pocket scavenger hunt)
    • Play Bingo
    • Play wedding themed charades


What are your thoughts? Is there something I missed in my list? Let me know.
