Is anybody have an after party post reception?

My venue which is a church is strict about no dancing at the reception. So I'm thinking about doing an after party with the wedding party. Is anyone doing after parties?

I am having a small after party. We are not having alcohol at the reception so we are heading to the bar at the hotel that the Bridal Party is staying at. My mom knows the hotel manager and we both know the bartender and we will pretty much have the bar to ourselves. It's pretty much just for my friends.

We're having an after party in the bar of the hotel where our reception is being held. As soon as I walked into the hotel to see the ballroom, I saw the bar and LOVED it.

I'm not having an after party, but in your case, I definitely would.

In your case I would. I wouldn't have even had a reception with no dancing and no drinking unless all of my guest were very spiritual like me. If your guest like to party then you might want to go ahead with the after party. It is all about you and you really shouldn't care what people think but then again you don't want people saying how boring your wedding was either.
We are having one because our reception is from 3-8pm. And that's not enough time to really greet guest and party.

I'm not having an afterparty, although we may go out with friends after the reception (it's from 5-9pm so the night will still be young). In your case, I would most definitely have an afterparty with drinking/dancing. I agree with sharonda, I think it's hard to pull off a reception without drinking/dancing unless all are of the same mind/spirit. It can happen (and the best wedding I went to had a dry reception - although there was a little dancing), but it's hard, to be honest.

I am having an after party at the club where I used to bartend. The owner is a good friend and invited to the wedding, she is going to close the club just for us. I think it will be fun!

I'm on the fence about it. It's a family tradition to have one, but my reception is ending around 10pm and is about an hour away from my parents home where the after party is traditionally thrown. The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking I'm not going to. I think brunch or lunch the next morning would be more fitting...
