We decided we're going to get married in Disney, but want to have a reception at home for family and friends. We're getting married on September 29, 2012, but are unsure of what to do for the reception. We want to have a very informal reception somewhere where it can be more of an informal cookout with music and a night of fun, without the tuxes or fancy dresses.
We're also unsure of how soon to have the party, which is why I'm writing... Spring and summer sound more like a cookout or grilling burger and hot dogs, but we're getting married in the fall. Is it tacky to have a reception six months after the ceremony? Any suggestions? Comments? Any good places in eastern NY or Westerrn CT anyone can suggest for sites? Any ideas are welcome!
