The restaurant we're using closes at 8pm. So I want to have the dinner as late as we can while leaving enough time. You think 6pm is okay? 2 hours? Or is it normally longer? About 25-30 people, sit down dinner and we're doing gifts that night.
And should we figure a halfhour for the rehearsal itself? We're not actually going through the ceremony. It's moreso just a run through of "here is where you walk, here's the ceremony, you stand there, the bathrooms are there, you park there, etc."
