This is what I'm thinking about don't know for sure if the time frame is good or if its even a good idea at all. I'm wanting to cut the cost by not having to pay for everyone's dinner. So what I'm thinking is have the wedding ceremony, then the guest all go grab dinner on their own, while the wedding party and families do pictures and their own dinner and then meet back up at the reception site with the guest and have the reception with the dance, cake, punch, alcohol if we decide have and maybe a candy bar for snacks.
Any suggestions, advice, opinion would be greatly appreciated!
