Rehearsal Dinner

This is really the one thing that we have left to "book" for the wedding.  We pretty much have everything else booked (as I was writing that sentence, I had to take a break and send an email to the tea house that I want to book for my bridal brunch), other than the rehearsal dinner.

Fort Wayne has some pretty good restaurants.  They have all the normal chains, but they also have some good, locally owned restaurants and that's really where I want to have the rehearsal dinner.  So, we went to a couple of places while we were home for Christmas and neither of them were really what we wanted.

The major issue that we have is the number of people who will be invited.  We are just sticking with the traditional invite list... the people in the bridal party + their families.  This comes out to be about 50 people, which doesn't seem like a lot, but it is a lot to accommodate when you're talking about a restaurant.

So right now we have two options... two different local "chains", but we are kind of at the mercy of my parents to pick one.  I'm hoping that we can get this booked within the next month because with our wedding being on a holiday weekend, I'm concerned that large parties in restaurants will be in high demand.
