I think your idea of tea sounds fantastic!
The guys could: golf, go out on a boat (don't know if you're near water), have a tasting of any number of things (beer, cigars, whiskey), backyard BBQ with lawn games, baseball game
Just recognize everyone at the "reception". Or have a get together the night before, but do a whole rehersal. Just have a BBQ or something.

Hi Hive,
Ok, so this is odd I know. We are having a smaller and more intimate ceremony as many of you know by know and also an 'after party' dinner instead of a traditional reception. Considering it will be so small, I was thinking of not doing a rehearsal because we can't get the space the day before (it's a garden in a local park and is usually booked on Saturdays, the wedding is Sunday). So, how do I handle this? Because there is no 'rehearsal,' should there be no 'rehearsal dinner?' I still want to recognize my girls' contributions, his guys, and our parents... but perhaps we could just do this at the after party? I was also thinking that maybe I would take the girls (me, mom, FMIL, MOH and 2 BMs) out for afternoon tea or something to recognize them and give them their gifts. Afternoon tea used to be something very special in my family because my godmother always had it for her birthday until she passed. I doubt any of the others will have ever been to a tea so I thought it might be extra special for them and a neat experience (those of you who have never done 'tea' you definitely should!!!). Thoughts??? Also, if we do tea, thoughts on how FI can 'treat' his guys and our dads?
Thanks!
Bella
