How To Plan A Rehearsal Dinner
Top wedding pros share their expertise on ways to plan this significant and personal celebration. By Elizabeth Jenkins; from Summer 2006
CONTROL THE TOASTS
The host should get the party started with a welcome toast before the first course is served, says Scott Corridan. The other toasts should wait until after dessert to avoid interfering with the waitstaff. And, says L.A. planner Michael Gapinski, who coordinated Christina Aguilera’s wedding, if you fear that a member of the bridal party might make an inappropriate toast, talk to the person ahead of time.
DISH OUT DESSERT
Randi Pellegrini of Cordially Invited in L.A. likes serving desserts that are simple and fun, such as doughnuts, cupcakes and pies. Or set up a candy counter, pastry table or make-your-own-sundae station.
