Wedding Day Timeline if not serving dinner at reception

kailamac

Hi all,

So, my partner and I are planning to have a later wedding (7:30) and then not serving dinner but we'll have lots of hors d'oeuvres and cocktails at the reception.

What I'm trying to figure out is how to organize the timeline for the rest of the day. Basically, when do WE eat? After photos but before reception? How long should we allot for this? Where should we eat to ensure things go smoothly?

Any ideas?!

If this presents a problem for you then it will be a problem for your guests. Like PP said, your guests (not to mention close family and BP) are spending time getting ready before the ceremony too. Are they going to be starving by the time hors d'oeuvres are served? And then throw some alcohol in there too?
