If you chose the barbecue theme for your rehearsal dinner, you’re on the right way! We are sure that all your guests will support you and come to your party with pleasure. It’s not such a difficult-to-realize idea, so you need to create a food bar (you can make popcorn, nut, chips bar), a zone for making food, a drink bar, think over some games for your guests and décor details for your place (from invitations and nameplates on fence to vases on table). Don’t forget about your friends who don’t eat meat and prepare something vegetarian for them. Eating homemade food, your guests can talk, play games and get acquainted. Let’s take a closer look at some ideas!
