If you have a lot of out-of-town guests, they might not be getting in until that day and would probably welcome the chance to relax at a more casual party than get dressed up and sit at a restaurant for hours after traveling all day. Even if you don't have a lot of out-of-town guests, it's still a great way to relax with your loved ones before the chaos of The Big Day. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner/page/2#post-65573 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 15:15:11 +0000 MissPearls 65573@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>We did it and we loved it.&nbsp; Very chill and fun and relaxing -- and if your out-of-town guests are arriving throughout the day/night they can just show up when they get in and not worry about missing out on dinner. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner/page/2#post-65300 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:42:50 +0000 Sweeney2Be 65300@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Heck no I think it sounds like fun! I'm doing a BBQ for mine, in the back yard and all!! </p> <p>Things are only acceptable if they meet your standards! If you were having a stuffing, yuppity wedding - then maybe the pizza and beer thing would be a no-no, but bring it on. I can't wait to hear about how well it went!&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65254 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 11:37:26 +0000 MissStargazerLily 65254@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I think that is an awesome idea! We're doing a BBQ and I think it'll be kind of a time to relax before the big day! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65231 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 07:17:35 +0000 psu01 65231@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I think it's a great idea! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65229 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 07:07:29 +0000 fromms2mrs 65229@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Pizza, beer and bowling for us!&nbsp; </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65219 Sat, 05 Jul 2008 02:49:57 +0000 Brookem 65219@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Oh my!&nbsp; I cannot believe the overwhelmingly great responses to this!&nbsp; I feel so much better about it.&nbsp; Thank you!&nbsp; I am planning to do the pizza and beer at the wedding location just after the actual rehearsal.&nbsp; We live what some would consider a smaller town (180,000) but the wedding is taking place in an <em>actual</em> small town with a population of about 300!&nbsp; This is where I grew up.&nbsp; As you can imagine - not a lot going on there.&nbsp; I wanted to get everyone at the location, have the rehearsal, have some pizza and beer and enjoy themselves!&nbsp; Thanks again, I am thrilled! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65205 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 23:41:34 +0000 goodvoile 65205@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I will have to let you know after my wedding later this month! :) We are having a prewedding pizza dinner/open house&nbsp;(at my home -- at least if I can not stress over the house and such)! We too wanted something casual, and everyone seems relieved . . . so I am hoping it turns out fine. It is what my fiance wants, for sure! </p> <p>Good luck to you!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65198 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 21:36:01 +0000 creampuff 65198@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I really wanted to do something similar, but with hot dogs in the park where we are getting married.&nbsp; Unfortunately, Puff Daddy didn't think it was nice enough for the out-of-town guests.&nbsp; He thought they should be treated to a nicer dinner.&nbsp; That being said, I didn't agree with him! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65182 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:28:56 +0000 QueenoftheClick 65182@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I think it is great to have a casual rehearsal dinner. Everyone loves to relax and I think with the right music and some candles around the place it would be very nice. I was thinking of having a barbecue, but we would need to get a new grill first. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65181 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:51:20 +0000 Robyn171 65181@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Totally fine.&nbsp; We're doing a casual clambake because we figure the wedding will be more formal and we want people to relax and get to know eachother!&nbsp; If you're worried about being too casual, go for some pizza with gourmet toppings and use real plates or nice plastic.&nbsp; A nice salad and voila! Traditional American comfort food is SO in right now. It sounds perfect.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65179 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:23:04 +0000 Niki 65179@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I think it would be O.K. if you kept it high energy and gave it the right environment-like the suggestion above about making it a backyard BBQ. </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65176 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 17:09:13 +0000 LibraryBride 65176@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>We're having ours in Chicago and doing Chicago style pizza and beer for the rehearsal dinner!

It was totally relaxed and casual, just what everyone needed before the wedding! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65090 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 09:57:16 +0000 Coconut 65090@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I love this idea- puts the focus on the people and the fun, rather than on the &quot;details&quot;- let's all save those for the wedding! </p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/pizza-and-beer-rehearsal-dinner#post-65078 Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:52:30 +0000 Yach 65078@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>No need to dress up?&nbsp; Eat comfort food?
