When it comes to planning the wedding, coordinating with the different vendors, events surrounding the wedding, the ceremony, and reception there is a lot to organize. Things change, situations come up, and everyone must be flexible. Having a schedule that is organized is helpful if you need to make changes. Top-notch organization keeps everything flowing with ease.

Your wedding is finally here. You and your groom are done with the planning, you found the dress of your dreams, and you are getting ready to walk down the aisle.

If your favorite aunt, beloved grandmother, or kindergarten friend who wants to speak, the rehearsal dinner is the perfect time. The theme and style are up to you. It can be a formal sit-down dinner or more casual event. It depends on your venue, budget, and other wedding events that you have planned.
