It obviously needs to be after everyone gets off work and they need time to get there (about 40 minutes for most guests). What time is good for a weekday wedding that still allows time for a fun reception? I don't want the party to end super early but I also get that people have to work the next day. What time should the whole thing be over? The ceremony will be pretty short.
Also, kids are welcome so what do I do with them during the reception? Provide a babysitter or just an activity area? I want the parents to feel like they can stay late and not have to worry about their kids.
