For our rehearsal dinner we chose to keep it simple and have it at my parents' house. By having it at home and not a restaurant, we were able to invite the bridal party, their significant others, and our out of town guests.
We had a local restaurant cater the food. They have a pick-up service where they put all the food into disposable trays so you just pick it up and serve it! They also provided the sternos to keep the food warm. It was a mexican restaurant and we had chicken, carne asada, tortillas, rice, beans, salsa, sour cream, taco toppings, guacamole and chips for everyone. It was WAY cheaper than had we gone to a sit-down restaurant.
We stocked up on drinks from Sam's club and had everything in ice chests. Instead of renting table and chairs, we borrowed some from our friends. We also reused the decorations from the bridal shower for the rehearsal dinner.
It wasn't as fancy as going to a restaurant with sit down service, but we were all together and we were able to eat, drink and walk around to chat with all our friends. We also we able to stay on budget and still show our bridal party thanks!
