I have a confession to make - I haven't been to very many weddings (2, to be exact). I am learning about traditions and such as we go along. Mr. Tango is in the same boat, having been only to his sister's wedding, which makes understanding each country's customs that much more difficult. Rehearsal dinners are one thing that Panamanians normally don't do. I, however, want one - primarily because I'm prone to messing something up; and because I want excuses to spend as much time as possible with everyone who's making the trip down to Panama.We just realized that we didn't put ANYTHING in our budget for this. We really don't think we can come up with the funds from other areas or raise more money so we started brainstorming. How can we come up with a cheap venue that will allow lots of people to come? Mr. Tango to the rescue again - "What about having it in someone's rented house?" Perfect!
You see - many people are going to rent houses in Panama for their visit. Mr. Tango's family will probably get a villa, as will other family members on my side; and likely groups of friends. We recommended http://www.vrbo.com/ to our guests (it's such an amazing site for booking vacation places, FYI - even for honeymoon destinations!) and there are some great sites. Here are some houses listed next to our wedding venue currently:
For those of you who have been to rehearsal dinners before - do yout think this is feasible? Can we (and maybe some willing friends/family) cook and organize something in one of these houses for after the walk-through?
