Craving something more laid back for your night before? Try out an I Do BBQ!

Windy Hill Farm, Cedar Grove, NC

Rehearsal Dinner Venue

Pick a venue that gives a backyard vibe, but is still whimsical enough to give the night a romantic air. An open air pavilion next to a field and strung with market lights is perfect for this vibe.

Request a set up of kings tables (a nod towards picnic tables) in the center, leaving plenty of space for the BBQ buffet and guest interaction.

Rehearsal Dinner Stationery and Signage

Welcome your guests into the party with a themed welcome sign.

Want to assign tables in a low key way? Double up on escort cards and glassware by getting a mason jar for each guest and labeling them with their name and table number. Include a descriptive sign that says “Your glass for the night for whatever feels right”.

For stationery, create an invitation within the color palette, as well as a menu card that doubles as a place card.

Rehearsal Dinner Attire

Go with more casual outfits to fit the backyard vibe, while still dressy to commemorate the occasion.

Rehearsal Dinner Decor

Kings tables also lend themselves perfectly to table runners. Lay down some greenery to match the backyard aesthetic. Accent the runner with mason jars and gold vases filled with sunflowers and baby’s breath to bring in the gold accent. Finish off the centerpiece with a gold plaid table number.

For place settings, use white plates, clear glassware, and black and white tablecloths to provide a neutral background for the accent colors. Place a diamond-folded gold napkin on the plate, and on top place a red flatware set tied in a white ribbon.
