Just meet up back at the hotel bar where everyone is staying. This avoids out of towners walking around late night getting knocked out and robbed, plus it's an easy segue for your friends who are trying to get bridesmaids back up to their rooms.

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
I had my rehearsal dinner in the Quarter as well and we all went to Ricks after the dinner.

This. Rehearsal dinner after-parties are supposed to be informal gatherings.
Another thing to keep in mind (because I don't think it's been mentioned yet) is that out-of-town guests may scoff at too many scheduled gatherings during the weekend.
Depending on where you live, out-of-town guests may want to do their own thing or go to old hangout spots to reminisce.
Forcing people to adhere to a set schedule for the entire weekend can be very counter-productive.

Plus, you're not supposed to see your bride after midnight...so when she goes home, you get more hookers and blow

We had a ton of people from out of state for our wedding. We all headed out to a blues club until late but I did not cover their tabs

75 at Arnoud's... ? Bet your parents are happy about that...

How many bridesmaids does your wife have? O/U 8?

ETA: you can't see bride after midnight anyway so you'll have to go in separate directions
This. I did this with some friends before their wedding this summer down Bourbon and had a blast.

It was there idea, ha. I wanted to do it at NOLA brewery but they shot that idea down quickly, plus NOLA can't serve wine.
Anyway, It seems like the after party is not common here on the OT. I've been to a few weddings that had after parties but they were either destination weddings or thrown by a family with a lot of money. We feel bad because we have a slew of friends coming in from all over the country that will not be invited to the rehearsal and wanted to give them a little extra for paying for plane tickets and hotel. We understand how expensive traveling for a wedding can be.

So you already caved to your soon to be wife on this one, huh.
You're paying for their food and drinks at the wedding, right? An after-party is excessive and not necessary, but I have a feeling you already tried to tell your bride this and she bitched you out so you bent the knee.

My wife insisted we do this.
Since we had the venue for the whole weekend, we just did an "after party" at the venue. Bunch of people showed up with wine, we supplied some beer, and brought a bunch of the leftover food from the rehearsal dinner for folks to snack on.

Super tacky on your part.

it sucks and having these extra events suck because guests are basically guilt tripped into attending

It was kind of both our ideas I just wanted to see if this was common and who should pay.
