AI GeneratorPlan for 30-45 minutes for the rehearsal itself. This gives your officiant time to walk through the processional, positions, vows, and recessional with the entire wedding party.
Traditionally, the groom's parents host and give the first toast. After that, it's common for close family members, the best man, maid of honor, or anyone who won't speak at the wedding to share stories and well-wishes.
The rehearsal dinner is the perfect time. Plan this for after dinner and toasts, when the mood is relaxed and everyone can appreciate the moment together.
If your rehearsal venue is separate from the dinner location, arrange shuttles or share ride details in advance. Include transportation times in your timeline so guests know when to head to the next location.
