I am a future bride- getting married in 2 weeks. When my future husband and I started planning this we weren’t sure who from his family was coming or if his parents would even be able to take responsibility for this event. We are from 2 different cultures and it’s been a rough road.
Anyway, my mother and I started to plan the rehearsal dinner at a restaurant close to the hall where we are having the rehearsal. When his family said they would like to take responsibility for this only 1 week ago we were forced to make some changes. Originally they said they had a small budget and would like to do something in the backyard of their house. I didn’t want to make a huge issue out of it so I said that was fine understanding his family may not have the money to spend on this occassion.
Well, now we find out his family is planning to rent a tent, tables, chairs, linens and the event will be catered. I’m a little disturbed by this because I feel like they should have taken our original wishes into account. Is this wrong? It’s just been a tough road with his family up to this point and I’m incredibly frustrated! Someone help me please!

Open Question: I am a future bride and I’m wondering about the etiquette of the rehearsal dinner?
