Reception Time

Is 12:30 am to late to end a reception on a Saturday night. 
PS No kids will be attending.

I don't think so.  Though depending on your guests, some may leave earlier if they have to relieve their babysitters or if they're just not night owls.

I don't think so... our reception ends at 10 pm and our after party is ending at 4 am!

I don't think so. Depending on your guests so may leave early if they have to relieve babysitters like Peaches said.

Mine ends at 1230 as well, also adults only - so I think that is fine

no, don't think so. Mine will be ending at midnight on a Friday.

mine ended at midnight on a friday and I have to say a lot of the older people left after the cake was served.   So, some people may leave a little early for a 12:30am end.

as long as dinner isn't served too late. i went to a wedding where dinner wasn't served until 10:30. and i did not want to eat steak that late at night

Agree with this!!

I think that time is fine. My reception is ending at 11 and the after party at 1am. Just don't make your guests wait until late in the evening for key things such as food and the cake cutting.

Our ends at 12:30am - we have a 6 hour reception so it starts at 6:30pm.

We ended ours at 12 and many people left directly after the cake cutting.
