What should the guest do while were taking pics?

simba1122

I need ideas. Were not having alcohol at our wedding reception and our wedding and reception is in one place. I'm trying to decide what to have the guest do while were taking pics. My FI wants them to start eating dinner but I thought it would be better for us to wait to have dinner until we get done. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

This is what cocktail hour is for.  If you aren't serving drinks, make it mocktail hour.  Serve n/a bevs and apps and let people mingle for an hour.

If you don't want to have a cocktail hour (or h'orderves) consider taking pictures beforehand and then just going straight from the ceremony to the reception so you don't leave guests waiting with nothing to do/eat/drink.

We're doing the bulk of our pictures beforehand, but we're doing the formal family shots immediately after the ceremony.  We'll have some snack trays around and hopefully the bar will be open right away, and then we'll bring out the heavy apps for the reception food once we're done.Definitely give them something to eat, even if it's only cheese and crackers.  They'll only get cranky if they have to wait around without something to eat or drink.

Appetizers and drinks even if non alcoholic they need muchies and drinks
