Rehearsal Dinner Goodness



If all goes as I hope, we will be having the Rehearsal on Friday evening at the church where the wedding ceremony and reception will be held on Saturday. This got me to thinking: since we already have the reception room on Friday night for decorating, why not just use it for the rehearsal dinner. We could do a simple potluck, or have something catered, and then have everyone stick around to help with decorations.

So, we were at Wood Ranch with Jason's parents last weekend for my birthday (Wood Ranch is currently my favorite place to eat). I noticed that they have a Catering Service. Since Jason's parents will be paying for the dinner, we looked over the options, and they thought it sounded great. We will probably look into a couple other restaurants, just to know what the options are, but it seems like this is what we will be doing:

- Famous Tri Tip Roast (1-2 slices per person)
- Choice of Ribs (Baby Back or Beef) (3-4 baby back ribs or 2 beef ribs per person)
- Fresh BBQ Chicken Breast (6 oz piece per person)
- Skillet Baked Beans
- Original Peanut Coleslaw
- Macaroni & Cheese
- Freshly Baked Garlic Rolls

The price is very reasonable, especially for what you get. It is actually cheaper than eating at the restaurant! And, it's YUMMY! :oD

We did the exact same thing. We had Wood Ranch cater our rehearsal in the fellowship hall of the church. They set up while we were rehearsing and then we all just came downstairs to dinner. The food was great (it's wood ranch! how could it not be?) and we got positive feedback. I think we had the same menu you posted too. I think it's a great idea! :)
