1. ARE A WELCOME PARTY AND A REHEARSAL DINNER THE SAME?
The biggie contrast between a rehearsal dinner and a wedding welcome bash? Well, at the welcome party, it’s an all-inclusive fiesta! The rehearsal dinner? That’s a cozy affair, usually just for the inner circle and the ceremony crew. Picture this: a quiet family dinner versus a lively cocktail soiree where stragglers from the rehearsal can jump in. If you’re playing host to a dreamy Amalfi Coast destination wedding, a welcome party is your golden ticket to delight guests on a weekend adventure and squeeze in extra friend time!
2. PLAN A POOLSIDE BASH
We’re all in for a splash-tastic pool party to kick off a summer wedding! While some love the idea of a post-wedding poolside brunch, not everyone might be ready to dive in after the celebration. How about flipping the script with a pre-wedding pool fiesta for some chill vibes before the “I do’s”? Just remember to have that sunblock ready for the ultimate poolside glow-up!
3. THE LOVE BOAT
If your wedding bells chime along the Amalfi Coast, you’ve probably snagged a venue with an ocean view. But hey, beach time? That’s a whole new ballgame! So, why not kick off the celebrations with a splash and set sail for a boat wedding welcome bash?Let your wedding crew channel their inner sailors, decked out in their snazziest espadrilles and chic swimwear, rocking those stunning nautical vibes while sipping cocktails on deck as you cruise through the dreamiest destinations, Capri calling the shots!
4. ITSAPIZZA EATSAPIZZA (Jimmy Fallon voice)
Sure, you’re the master of your menu destiny! Just make sure it’s hearty enough, whether it’s a full-on dinner or a feast of appetizers, depending on when your welcome party kicks off. While themes can suggest specific menus, can you even imagine an Amalfi Coast pre-wedding party without a slice (or ten) of pizza? Let this charming Trattoria Da Lorenzo Welcome Fiesta inspire you, and set the scene for your dreamy celebration!
5. THROW A PAR-TEA IN THE GARDEN

Laura Says: Pick a theme that screams “YOU”!
Whether you’re going all out with a cocktail affair or keeping it breezy with a pizza night, let your theme set the stage for your dream event. And hey, if themes aren’t your jam, just focus on the vibe you want and let that guide your venue choice. Let the good times roll!
Marianna Says: Find your game plan for sending out invites.
Depending on your moolah situation, you could go all out and invite everyone to the pre-wedding bash (if your wallet approves) or keep it exclusive for your chosen crew. Whoever gets the golden ticket, make sure they can RSVP for the party shenanigans along with the main event. Tuck in a little note about the welcome party in your invitation package to keep the excitement brewing!
Laura Says: Plan Out your Fodder & Sips
Hold off on throwing that welcome party during dinner if there’s no grub! Timing is everything when it comes to parties. If your shindig lands during the dinner rush, make sure to dish out some good old family-style chow to keep those rumbling tummies at bay.
Marianna Says: Chose the hour carefully.
Timing is key here. Whether you opt for a sunny afternoon or a starry night, make sure it suits your guests’ travel plans and gives everyone a chance to freshen up before the main event.

How about jazzing up the event with a live band or fun activities to keep the guests on their toes? From traditional games to quirky challenges like “Wedding Bingo” the options are endless – just pick what suits the vibe!
Marianna Says: Remember that Little Things Matter
