thats fine, as long as its the same day, then you will have your party full and pleased to listen to their direction to take when walking and what to do that day. Some people dont even have a rehersal dinner for their bridal party, so either it be after or before it wont make a difference, and this way if its before then you know that everyone wont be making up excusses to be late, they will want to be there for the food.

I don't think it is in poor tastes at all. The whole meaning of the rehearsal dinner is to thank the people that are making your big day happen. I think you should plan your big day and events as you see fit. It is your day, no one else's. I actually had the rehearsal on the Wednesday night and then the dinner on the Thursday night, because thats what was best for me and my fiance. If I were you, like I said, do what you want to do. Months after the wedding, no one is gonna care when you held these events anyway. Hope this helps! Good luck with the wedding!

I think it's a great idea!! No sense in everyone being hungry and grouchy at the rehearsal!! You can do it however you want! But, if it's close to the wedding date, which it could be the day before, I would think that people would like to get home earlier to rest, so they don't need to be hanging out all night long. Everyone can just go home after the rehearsal now since they've been fed.

I would wait until after the rehearsal for dinner but I have heard of people doing it that way...actually lunch then the rehearsal.

It's just in poor taste to not give one, I think.
I don't really care much for habit, I care for practicality. If a dinner is a nice way to get together, to honor those close to the couple, than who cares when?
Honestly, people get so caught up in meaningless stuff.
But if there's a reason, like not wanting to spill stuff on yourself, or being too sluggish from turkey, OK then the tradition has a point.

Honestly, it is your wedding and you can do whatever you and your partner want. People tend to be flexible with wedding schedules as they realize that it is all about the bride and groom. Afterwords instead of dinner maybe you can have a meeting place like a local home, bar or sitting area.

no I totally considered it b/c it was becoming so hard to book a restauraunt to have the dinner in later on in the night when its more busy......I finally found one that would let us, but the biggest reason I decided agaist it was because I knew that a lot of the people would loose focus after a big meal and dawdle around getting their instead of moving through smoothly.....I figure the hunger factor will motivate them to practice better and quicker, so we can get that part over with!

No, but then you run the risk of everyone being full or dunk and not able or wanting to participate at the rehersal. Think about it!
