My oldest son is getting married next month in another state and we are hosting the rehearsal dinner in a restaurant. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to make it special. Since this is the first boy to be married, even though I want to do something I am not sure what to do.

One family I know presented the bride with an a photo album at the rehearsal dinner. In it were 27 of their favorite pictures of the groom (one for each year of his life). I thought that was a neat idea.

I would be sure to have you and your husband stand up and toast the newly-weds to be.

My parents hosted our rehearsal dinner at my childhood home...and never toasted or anything... One of my husband's parents did...but I was hoping mine would since they were hosting. Still a sore spot with me 7 years later...

BTW--I LOVE LOVE LOVE Seastar's idea.
