Hello we are planning on having a post wedding - the morning after breakfast/brunch for those guests that are staying at the hotel or live in the area.
There are a couple of questions I have - we were going to put this information into the little bags we leave with the hotel with general information about pick up etc, and brunch the morning after. (Is there really a need for a formal invite for this?). Can't we gauge the number of attendees based on the hotel reservations?
I read on the knot's website about servicing specific things - is that really remotely necessary. There is an amazing amazing pizza place that my fiance is in love with and we were thinking to ask them (if possible) to cater pizza and calzones etc for brunch? and lastly the website said traditionally brides parents pay, i give up on these traditional statements we are adults living in the 21st century we can pay for the brunch (if we couldn't we wouldn't have it).
But I do want to ask - is there some formality to these? something that has to happen, or some should anyone speak or say thank you for coming. Or can this be just an open food/tray area people take food, mingle eat and pack up and check out. I honestly have only been to one of these so long ago that i don't even remember what the protocols are here.
Those are my questions, thank you in advance for the tips and suggestions!
