Take a stroll in Klyde Warren Park, which is a complete pleasure to the eye with its architectural details. It has a beautiful fountain and a playground for the kids. Head Downtown to explore the Dallas World Aquarium. And if you feel like taking in a bit of culture - The Dallas Museum of Art is certainly the place to visit. It's known to be one of the largest art museums in America, a total must-see if you're in the area.

How about checking out the Dallas skyline? Ride to the top of the Reunion tower to see a 360 degree view of the city. And if you fancy walking around more enclosed spaces, then head to the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, which has campuses located in Victory Park and Fair Park.

How to plan a rehearsal dinner: etiquette rules

If you’re going to go down a traditional route, then some wedding etiquette rules will oblige. 

• Have you thought about who throws the rehearsal dinner? Traditionally, the groom’s family is supposed to organize and pay for the event. However, these days people choose what suits them best. So, whether it’s the groom’s or the bride’s family (or both), prepare for a budgeting conversation ahead of time to ensure a drama-free dinner. 
• Remember that a rehearsal dinner is not a party for all of your wedding guests. Of course you can invite them, but do not feel pressured to do so. Send out invitations to close family members and maybe some special friends. If you have any relatives traveling from far away, it could also be a nice gesture to invite them. It will not be impolite to invite only a few guests, this dinner is just somewhat of a practice run before the official wedding party (don’t forget about the budget). 
• The rehearsal dinner can be as formal, or as informal, as you wish. The theme of the wedding can be implemented into the rehearsal dinner, just so it’s easier to choose the decor and the garments. It’s a nice touch for the photos - your wedding photo album will have a recurring motif, and it will surely look lovely. On the other hand, maybe you wish to relax at this pre-party, and have a comfortable get-together. Let the guests know how you wish to dress, so that you all feel great on the day of the dinner. 
• If we can add a recommendation - it might be a smart idea to have the rehearsal dinner near the wedding location. If your venue is miles away from the place where you’re getting married the following day, then you might come across some difficulties when trying to reach the actual location. Keep the distance short and sweet, unless you plan to have the rehearsal dinner a couple of days before, then perhaps the distance isn’t an overly big issue. Just don’t go crazy and do it in another city or state, that might be a bit of a stretch. 

We hope that the etiquette guide gives you at least a small idea of what to look out for. If you want any additional tips, like a checklist for the rehearsal dinner, we can send you over to here.
