Gap between ceremony and reception

MissADS1981

I am having a 330 church ceremony. Will likely conclude around 415

our reception begins at 630 and is about 20 minutes from the church.

that leaves 2 hours of a gap.

what i was thinking of doing is putting on our church programs information about the hotel we have room blocks at for the guests to grab a drink or have light apps there in between, we can even cover the cost of that for them. they can go to the hotel and hang out between or not go to the church at all.

i've been to many weddings with a gap. i woudl never get MAD at the bride and groom. to me it was not rude

Don't listen to the mean people on this site. You do what's right for you and your family.

Oh FFS.  You have one post and this is it?  Stop trying to stir up shit by bringing up a thread that's been quiet for almost half a year.  

But FWIW, when you host an event, you treat your guests right.  Having an "it's my day!" attitude is really shitty - don't you care about your friends and family?

Gaps are not rude to me.  Been to many with long ones and we always find somewhere new explore or people to hang out with in between.  What is rude to me is brides who put the wrong time on the invitation to make sure everyone gets there on time.  And then they arrive later than the correct time.  One friend had an hour earlier on the invites and then was an hour late.  Got there a half hour early so waited 2/12 hours for the ceremony to start.
