K + C aren't having a traditional rehearsal dinner, but will be inviting guests to a welcome dinner at a local lobster joint the night before the wedding (hence, my beloved lobstah dress). We're not yet sure how much will be left in the budget for fun details -- and honestly, how many details do you need when you have lobster and surroundings like this -- but here are some ideas I've collected over the last few weeks should the need arise...

And a bag to pack the evening's essentials:
