I was not prepared for the silence in my own head when it came time to plan the rehearsal dinner. That’s how the Mother of the Groom Rehearsal Dinner Planner eventually came to be.
I had my trusty MOG checklist, sure. But when I sat down to actually plan the thing? I needed more than just a “to do.” I needed a “how to.” That’s exactly why I created the planner, because I’ve been right where you are.
Because let me tell you. Keeping up with the guest list, wrangling RSVPs, nailing down the venue details, accommodating every special diet under the sun as you plan a menu? It’s enough to make even the most level-headed MOG want to hide in the bathroom with a bottle of wine.
This wasn’t just about planning a dinner.
It was about trying to hold everything together without losing my mind.
I didn’t have it then. But I have it now. And I made it for you.
Introducing the MOG HQ Ultimate Rehearsal Dinner Planner. Your start-to-finish guide to getting this dinner planned and DONE.
This is the resource I wish I had when I was sitting at my kitchen table, drowning in post-it notes and unread emails, trying to figure out how in the world I was supposed to pull off this Very Important Dinner.
I designed every page of this planner with a specific MOG in mind – the MOG who hasn’t done this before. The MOG who’s feeling frazzled and unsure and more than a little overwhelmed at the task ahead of her.
The MOG who just needs somebody to tell her where to START.

Because that’s the hardest part, isn’t it? The starting.
But once you have a roadmap in front of you, broken down into easy-to-follow steps and checklists and worksheets? It starts to feel doable. It starts to feel like you might actually survive this thing.
Heck, you might even enjoy it.

(Personally, I’m a fan of the “print it out and cross things off with a big ol’ Sharpie” method, but you do you.)
