I recently got engaged and feels so overwhelmed with wedding planning and ultimately don't think we'll go the traditional route. I love the idea of a rehearsal dinner vibe where we still get to celebrate with our friends and family.

Here's what I'm envisioning: a night celebrating with our loved ones (think dinner, drinks, good music, vibes, conversations), immediately hopping on a plane the next day somewhere wonderful to elope just us, and then a fun long honeymoon.
Curious if anyone has done anything similar especially the more casual night celebrating and what you really loved/what made it special!
