Have any of you married baws (or family) put on one of these for guest coming from out of town? We already have our rehearsal dinner planned for Arnoud's for the wedding party and family, around 75 people.

My fiancée thinks we should have an after party for our friends and family who are coming in from out of town. I'm not sure how to ask my parents if they want to do this since they are throwing up a bunch of bones for the rehearsal dinner.

Just all go out together

ETA: you can't see bride after midnight anyway so you'll have to go in separate directions

Just go to a bar and let everyone open their own tabs. I hate cheapskates as much as the next guy, but this sort of thinking is out of control.

We just went out on the town afterwards and invited everybody who wanted to come along.

Most of our wedding party and guests on my side traveled in from out of town. We told everyone that after the rehearsal dinner we would be at a certain bar, but it wasn't really an obligation. We wanted to spend some time with everyone who traveled in.

We didn't "throw an after-party" but just went out to hang out with them after.

Your fiancé sounds like a needy, spoiled brat.

It's called going out on the town. You don't need to host another party.

She at least seems to make a mountain out of a molehill. Pics?

I am getting hitched in a month and we are having a cocktail hour after the rehearsal dinner. We are not paying for drinks or anything there and totally voluntary. Inviting the rehearsal dinner peeps and out of towers and additional family. Basically just a meeting point for everyone before going out and bar hopping.

Not sure if you plan on footing the bill or not. I wouldn't pay for it though.

We ate near Bourbon and went out for a couple of hours after. No reason to have to spend the extra money

If anything, the out of town guests will be buying him and his bride shots all night.

I would suggest just getting a good night's sleep before your wedding

YEa, I almost added that, but thought someone would call me trashy

But yea, OP most likely won't be buying drinks at the "after party." Same thing for the after wedding party too, if you do one of those.

Screw that. You're already spending a couple hundred bucks on the rehearsal dinner. There's no need for an after party.

After rehearsal dinner after party



Hosting the After Rehearsal Dinner After Party is very important but not as important as the Pre-Rehearsal Cocktail Party. Also don't forget the Pre-Wedding Lunch Party and the Post-Wedding Next Morning Brunch Party. Really if you aren't spending at least $500 per out of town guest (outside of the wedding and reception of course), it's just tacky and you might as well elope.
