A rehearsal dinner is held the night before the wedding, after the run-through, for the couple, both families and the people standing with them. It is smaller and more personal than the reception, and it is where the funniest speeches happen. Wishes go in the card on the table, in the speeches, and in the message the couple reads before they fall asleep the night before.
Rehearsal dinner wishes for the couple
Tomorrow you get married; tonight you get to just enjoy the people who love you. Thank you for having us at your table.
WhatsAppThe run-through was chaotic, the dinner was perfect, and you two looked calm. Sleep well; tomorrow is your day.
WhatsAppYou practised walking in, standing still and saying the words. The love part needs no rehearsal at all.
WhatsAppWatching both your families laugh at one table tonight told me everything about the marriage you are about to start.
WhatsAppTonight was the warm-up, and it was already wonderful. Cannot wait to watch you say it for real tomorrow.
WhatsAppOne last dinner as an engaged couple. Twelve hours from now you will be husband and wife.
WhatsAppThe speeches tonight were proof of how many people you have looked after over the years. Tomorrow we look after you.
WhatsAppYou made the night before the wedding about gratitude, not nerves. Rest well, both of you.
WhatsAppYou fumbled the entrance twice at the rehearsal and laughed both times. Keep that ease for every year of marriage.

What do you say at a rehearsal dinner?
Thank the hosts, tell one short story about the couple, and wish them well for the next day. Rehearsal dinner speeches can be more personal and funnier than reception ones, because the room is smaller. Keep it under two minutes; there are usually several.
Who comes to a rehearsal dinner?
The couple, their immediate families, the wedding party and anyone helping run the ceremony, plus out-of-town guests if the hosts choose. It follows the run-through on the evening before the wedding. At Indian weddings a similar family dinner often follows the mehendi or the sangeet.
