The rehearsal dinner is a gathering of the wedding party itself. It occurs after the church rehearsal. It can be either formal or informal. After eating and a few informal toasts, final plans are discussed or potential problems are ironed out. Who is riding with whom? Who is unable to come? This is your last chance to fix things.
