Brunch

Hello Ladies,
So my maid of honor reminded me that we are supposed to be hosting a brunch the day after the wedding. Do we have that at a restaurant? Who is invited? Is it casual? Who pays? I am completely clueless on the protocol for this tradition. Any suggestions?? The wedding is in May so I guess I should be working on this? Let me know! Thanks!

    It's totally up to you, but if you have lots of out of town guests, it's a nice gesture. No, it doesn't have to be at a restaurant. We had one at our house the next morning. Our parents helped out with setup since DH and I spent the wedding night at a local hotel. Our brunch was more of an 'open house' and we served simple things like fruit, bagels, donuts/pastries, coffee/juice/tea buffet-style for people to have whenever they got there. We had flyers about it at the wedding the night before w/ directions so people knew how to get there -- everyone invited to the wedding was invited to the brunch. Ours was very low-key and people came/went between I think 10am-1pm. DH and I showed up around 10:30am or 11am. It was nice to see everyone again after the wedding and was a chance for people to see our house -- especially out of town family/friends. (No, we didn't live together beforehand.)

    We didn't have a brunch.  Our plane the next morning left at 5:30 am - and to me and my husband, the beach in Mexico was more important than brunch with people we just saw the night before :)

    In all honesty, I don't get the whole brunch thing.  I had just gotten married, I wanted to spend my time with my husband.  The wedding was the time for seeing/spending time with our guests (granted we only had 65 people at the wedding, so we were able to talk to everyone for more than 2 seconds).

    Yeah, I should mention that we had the luxury of staying 'in town' an extra day before leaving on our honeymoon. We left for Mexico on Monday morning. Oh, and we had approx. 175 guests at our wedding, so it was nice to have more time to chat with them. DH and I figured, we have the rest of our lives to spend together, so why not spend one extra morning with our guests. It's totally up to you though. There's certainly no etiquette 'requirement' that you have a brunch.
