So i was wondering if a standing cocktail hour would be considered rude and if not how long should it be?. Im getting married fall 2012 at the bronx museum of art and after the ceremony I want the whole bridal party and our parents to take pictures at the brooklyn bridge park. By the time we get from the bronx to brooklyn it well be about 40-45 min if there isnt traffic. I dont want to have a 2 hr cocktail and just have my guest standing for hours. Any suggestions??
