Style: Formal or Informal
The fanciness or the informal style of the rehearsal dinner depends on you as it’s a small celebration of your choice but if to choose between formal and informal theme of the rehearsal dinner, then I would like to suggest you that the general rule is to kept it somehow informal as compared to the wedding reception.
