The Rehearsal Dinner PreParty
BISTRO ON THE GREEN AT MISSION
The best part of a rehearsal dinner is that it ’ s typically less formal than your wedding , so anything goes , especially for a destination wedding on Mackinac . You might want your rehearsal dinner to have an open invitation to all of your wedding guests . That way , a planned meet and greet event lets everyone get to know each other before the wedding .
If you decide to throw a party the day before , it doesn ’ t have to look or feel like a “ rehearsal dinner ” at all . In fact , you can have a rehearsal breakfast , golf outing or boat cruise if you want ! The point is to spend more time with loved ones who ' ve come to your wedding .
