i love breakfast foods too, but i don't know if everyone love them as much as i do. i think some people would think it's weird and improper to have breakfast for the rehearsal dinner. ultimately though you have to do what you will enjoy and not worry about pleasing everyone.
I looooove breakfast. So I would SO be down with having waffles and pancakes and smoked salmon and fruit and breakfast sausages, and ... drool.
But, maybe if you were looking to please all tastes, you could do more of a brunch-type thing? We had a family reception the other weekend at this great brunch buffet place. All the traditional breakfast things, but also some great salads and chicken and seafood - that way everyone could just pick and choose what they wanted.
If it is an *option* for the dinner, then I say "Why not?". If that will be the total menu, you might get a few people who are uncomfortable with their choices. Ultimately, it is up to you... If you think it represents your personalities and that it will be a blast, then float it by the moms... If nobody freaks out, you should be fine ;)

I think that sounds great! You can also include information that it will be breakfast in your invitation.
If you are slightly worried about having the breakfast for dinner, can they do breakfast as your dessert. A crepe bar or waffle bar with ice cream may be a fun way to incorporate your love of breakfast while still providing a substancial dinner option.
I used to love the nights my mom made breakfast for dinner. It is such an original idea.

I think this could work well if you give people some kind of heads-up in the invitation. That way, they know what to crave!

mmm pancakes, now I'm hungry for IHOP. I think this is a fantastic idea, It's unique and sounds like so much fun.
This so makes me want to cook up some yummy bacon, eggs & sausage. I would LOVE to attend a rehearsal Brinner! My parents actually have a Brinner at least once a week...we love our Irish breakfast food!
We ALMOST did this!!! I absolutely LOVE the idea. It is so different and SO yummy! :) Guests will love that they won't have to eat boring wedding food!

That's a great idea and could be a real money saver since breakfast is usually the cheapest meal to eat out.
I would totally get a kick out of this if I was invited!
Most people are not that picky when it comes to a free meal. If you and your FI like breakfast for dinner (which that is the only real time i like breakfast) I say go for it.

Rachael Ray always says that when food is too fancy people act stiff and when it's more casual people relax and have fun. My husband and I actually had a rehersal breakfast in the morning instead of a dinner! We still looked great and had a private breakfast with all of our family and bridal party. It wasn't stuffy at all. We got to thank everyone and I wrote personal thank you notes to everyone.
How positively creative and delightful! You could have so much fun with that, especially with the options they told you they have. An omelet bar would be fantastic!!!! Would a rehearsal brunch be out of the question, if you are worried about people thinking it's weird at supper time (which I don't)? For supper, I think that as long as you made clear on the invite that breakfast was being served, no one would be surprised or feel awkward. It's nice of you to even offer a rehearsal dinner, and it's neat that you want to celebrate with something you really enjoy! I say go for it!

First, if you're hosting, there's nothing that says "Here's our personal style!" better than a breakfast for dinner. Secondly, it sounds DELICIOUS!! And thirdly, GO FOR IT!
Love it! Do it! If you're worried about making sure everyone's happy, maybe think about having savory omelets and potatoes - those aren't too breakfast-specific.
This idea is genius! I love Brinner! 
My FI and I are crazy about tex mex, so we want to have a fiesta themed rehearsal dinner, but our Moms were worried that some guests might not like tex mex (especially older guests). We realized that as long as we warned everyone and tried to provide a variety of different things, then we should be ok. Do your thing and don't worry about it! I think most people will love it!
Oh do it! That sounds absolutely yummy! If you're worried about other people, think of fancy brunches and maybe have similar foods - prime rib or ham, prawns, asparagus, spinach salads or something as a brunch component. I'll be honest though, I'd load up my plate on yummy biscuits! What a great way to show your personalities :)
I think it's terrific! You should do it! I thought we were being a little original having a brunch reception, but a breakfast rehearsal dinner is SUPER!!!!

I agree. It sounds like fun. I'm not sure if I've met anyone who said they didn't like breakfast foods. An d what's better, is how often do we really take the time to have a REAL breakfast? Isn't it usually just cereal or a bagel etc? I just made breakfast for dinner for my family. Pancakes, bacon, eggs, potatoes. Too many carbs, but once in a while, it's fun. I think the morning is way too early for breakfast anyway.
I love it! Who doesn't reminisce about "Breakfast for Lunch" day in the elementary school cafeteria?!?
Also, Rehearsal dinners are a great time to express yourself in a way you just can't justify on your wedding day. Like if you really wanted a BBQ but your family said no way, or of course, breakfast for dinner!
This gives me a great idea to have a rehearsal brunch (my favorite meal) since there's a wedding on site the night before my wedding.. we might have to have a morning rehearsal that day before.

This idea is making me hungry. I love it!
We are actually having a tough time picking a restaurant for our rehearsal dinner because of our guests varying tastes. However, breakfast is universal favorite, so I may just have to steal this idea.
I say do it!
Hey everyone - thanks for the feedback. I think we'll go with breakfast. We had three menu choices at the restaurant in that price range. Breakfast just sounds fun -- like something people will remember a few years from now. I'm calling the venue tomorrow!
I think it's an awesomely unique idea! As a non meat/egg eater it's sometimes hard to find something to eat at breakfast though. I usually end up eating fruit and a bagel. It's not really something that would satisfy me at dinner though. I like the idea of letting your guests know beforehand so they can eat a snack before if they're not big breakfast people.
I LOVE the idea! It's creative and it's personal to you guys, which is what matters! I think it's a great idea.
Love it! I was thinking about it yesterday morning when we were out to breakfast. However FFIL has to have steak, so no dice for ours :)
mmm breakfast! but i'm more of a "breakfast at 3pm when i'm fully awake" kind of girl, so breakfast for dinner would be awesome
Mmm! I love this idea... I'd love to have this as a rehearsal "brinner"!
I just got back from Montreal- the breakfast capital of the world... and every morning I enjoyed these fabulous foods! Breakfast foods are so often overlooked & underappreciated!
Yay Miss Marshmallow :)
I love breakfast any time but I know for a fact that my FI would balk at it. He hates eating that type of food especially at dinner time.

My FI and I really enjoy breakfast food. We have a potential rehearsal dinner site for the evening before the wedding. The mgr is working on a few menu options for us, so I asked her to include a breakfast possibility, too. She said we'd have things like an omelet bar, pancakes, french toast, sausage, bacon, eggs, biscuits/gravy, fruit, etc.
So I know that would be fun...but would it be too silly or improper? We're only having about 40 of our closest friends and family to the event, so it isn't like we're trying to put on a grand show. We mainly just want people to have fun. That said, a more traditional dinner might be better for everyone.
Please share your opinions! THANKS!
