How long should welcome party be?

LGJ713

We are having a small rehearsal dinner and then inviting the rest of our guests (approximately 120) to a welcome party at the rehearsal dinner space.  The welcome party will have an open bar, dessert, and coffee.  How long should the welcome party be if it starts at 9:00 pm?  Is 1 1/2 hours too short?  FYI - all of our guests are from out of town.  

Thanks girls!

I think an hour and a half is just fine. You have to remember they are coming from out of state... they will be tired and then are going to the wedding the next day. At least this will give them time to see some faces and relax a little.

I have actually been thinking about that same question. 90 minutes sounds about right to me. Where are you having your rehearsal dinner? That is next on my list of things to tackle so any guidance is greatly appreciated

90=perfect.
