Super low-key post-wedding brunch?

KimAPC

I'm wondering if it would be a huge faux-pas if we have a seriously casual post-wedding brunch. I'm thinking like, inviting guests to stop by our suite (if it is large enough) and having bagels, coffee, mimosas, etc. on hand for everyone to eat. We have almost exclusively OOT guests attending and I want to see as many of them as possible again in the morning, but our wedding is in a small town so it would be a) difficult to find a restaurant to fit all of us, and b) prohibitively expensive for us to foot the bill. We are generally a very casual, down-to-earth couple and our wedding isn't overly fancy so I don't think it would be too much of a contrast. Do you all think this could work, or should I just forget it? Thanks!!

Sure that sounds fine. You can also see if the hotel has a conference room or other private area for you to do this if your room is too small.

That sounds lovely as long as there's enough pastry and coffee for everyone.  And ditto - the hotel may have a conference room or something that you can use, rather than cram a bunch of people into a suite - or have to worry about making sure your unmentionables are put away early in the morning before people come a knockin'.

I think it's a great idea myself.  The day of your wedding is pretty hectic and  you won't get as much time to talk to people as you'd like.  The light brunch the next day gives you an extra opportunity.

That's exactly what we did. We probably had 15-20 people come by. We treated it like an open house type thing.

I love this idea. I say go for it, just as long as there is room for everyone you invite.

Yay! I think I will definitely look into a meeting room depending on the suite size. That makes me feel so much better, thank you all for your help!

FYI-if you get a meeting room from the hotel, it is very likely they'll make you get the food from their catering department which could be prohibitively expensive. Catering is whre they make their money.

I would also look into a separate room for the brunch (ditto the catering thing), if only because I would be kinda skeeved out by walking into a couple's honeymoon suite the night after the wedding night...if you get my drift.  I'd be uncomfortable with people in MY wedding night suite the morning after too. I mean, we're all adults (at least we think so), but, well... you know...
