We're having a small, pretty intimate Saturday evening wedding at a winery, about 30 minutes or so outside of Seattle.
We also love to throw parties, which we do on an almost bi-weekly basis (at the minimum monthly) in the summer.
We get kicked out of the venue at midnight, so we've been looking into different after-party options. We also wanted to have a morning after brunch for our family and friends from out of town.
Our main room block is at a downtown Seattle hotel, less than a mile from our house. (There's also a hotel closer to the venue, but most of our friends and family will likely be staying in Seattle).
We were thinking of having people (mostly our younger friends) over to our place for more wine/scotch/cigars for the guys to keep the party going (we also have a private rooftop deck with a heater).
Then, we were thinking about doing a "brunch-type" open house, probably from 11am or 12pm to 2pm or so. My parents and FI's mom offered to come over and help us do any necessary cleaning before the brunch, and we'd likely just do coffee from our favorite coffee place, bagels from the bagel place down the street, and some prosciutto and smoked salmon that FI will make in advance.
We're not leaving on our honeymoon until Monday after the wedding. It would probably be about 30 people or so for both. Are we insane?
