Hello all, I'm new here! I'm in the process of planning my wedding and today i was looking at a possible timeline. There will be about 15 minutes between the ceremony and the reception. I was just wondering if there were any ideas about how to entertain guests during that half hour besides having snacks. And if I were do snacks what kind would you suggest--we are having a buffet style dinner. Thank you all in advance.

    I would host something really simple since it's so short. Like cheese and crackers, fruit, a veggie tray. Are you doing it yourself? If so, there are a lot of options at costco or sam's that would work.

    All you need is food and drinks to keep your guests happy and entertained.  They will be fine to mill about and chit chat with each other.  Adults do not need entertainment provided to have a nice time.

    Even 30 mins is a pretty short time- light refreshment would be fine. Punch alone would be fine, with cheese/crackers, or fruit or veggie tray. If you wish to upgrade you can.

    Just some drinks and light snacks will be enough for 30 minutes, I'm sure.  Your guests will be talking and exploring the venue.

    Just start serving drinks and do some light apps.  Something as simple as veggie and cheese trays is fine for 30 minutes.
