It was originally a time for the wedding party and their spouses or significant others to share a meal following the rehearsal for the following day’s ceremony.
Traditionally hosted by the parents of the groom the night prior to the wedding the dinner has more recently evolved to include out of town guests who are also welcomed to this pre-wedding party. Nowadays it is not unusual to include all guests attending the wedding particularly at a destination location.
