Rehearsal Dinners?!

Shakespeare had it all wrong, do Australians do Rehearsal Dinners? is the question.


For Melbourne Lady’s, after we went to the church for a walk through we, as in Mr and Mrs Melbourne Lady, H2B and I went to Mr ML fav restaurant and the rest of the bridal party and people went and did their own thing. That is really the only wedding I have been really involved in and it wasn’t really a rehearsal dinner as such.


Reading the thousands of blogs and websites, they are predominantly American based and well no offence but weddings and Americans are just so OTT and I also noticed it’s mainly church based weddings that do this after their walk through.


I had hoped on having a bridal party (and partners) dinner at The Goose or somewhere nice in Busselton a couple of nights before to give the girls and guys their gifts and get into a stress free holiday mode (or so I hope) but I don’t think that’s going to happen and we were looking at doing a BBQ on the Friday night for when the majority of friends/family will be coming down so they don’t have to worry about dinner, spend some time with us before the big day and again with the unwinding before it all happens.


Again doesn’t look like that’s feasible.


So for something I’ve only really seen on American TV Shows and Blogs – I guess no, Australians don’t do rehearsal dinners.

Especially not this one.
