Day After Event

Elizabeth, on June 7, 2019 at 1:13 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 17
What event (if any) are you hosting the day after your wedding? Our reception ends around midnight and we'll see who's up for an after party (after an evening ceremony and reception... at least everyone has all day to get ready). That said, most of our guests will likely be asleep until mid-morning or later. Hosting a lunch event is something we've thought about and we'll figure it out much closer to our date. What are you doing?

    A lot of people now a days I hear do brunch the day after. I am not hosting anything as the day after is Father's day so I don't think most people would be available anyway.

    A friend of ours is hosting a farewell brunch at her lovely home the following afternoon. It won’t be for everyone invited to the wedding, just our closets family and friends.

    My mother is hosting a brunch/bbq the day after in the backyard. My wedding also ends at midnight. So she is thinking of a late brunch.

    FH and I are hauling butt from the reception to the airport (reception ends around 3 and flight leaves at 6!) Which also gave me the perfect excuse to not have pushy family stay the night at our house 😁

    Our venue is close to a beautiful hotel and casino. They just built a second hotel that’s a resort with a spa and all that. We are doing a room block there and will continue the party after the wedding is over at the casino and then the next day will go out for brunch or have brunch at the hotel because they have a big fancy brunch buffets.

    We didn’t plan for anything but all of our guest stay at the same hotel since it was a destination wedding. We had breakfast and dinner mostly with everyone on previous days and we had an area were everyone would sit all together. The day after the wedding we just showed up for breakfasts and we were surprise to see almost everyone there. It was great and not plan which made it more special and no pressure towards anyone.

    There’s a football game the very next day around 1pm so if we’re up for it we wanna try and meet up with whoever’s still in town and not too hungover to watch it at the bar near our venue/hotel. But we also don’t want to over commit and be exhausted so we’ll see. I think it could be fun and super low key. And if it’s a good game then everyone will be too focused on that and we won’t have to socialize very much 😂

    We aren't hosting anything the day after. I feel like weddings are getting more and more extra every year. We are paying a bunch of money for the wedding and hosting everyone very well for that event. We are also having a hosted rehearsal dinner where we will invite out of town guests. I don't feel like we need a 3rd hosted event on top of that.

    The hotel was having a mothers day brunch so we invited all the family who was around to join. They were so sweet and gave my dad the kids price for everybody since we had a group of 16 or so

    My parents hosted a brunch at the hotels restaurant. They sectioned off an area of their normal brunch and my dad just paid for everyone at the end. It was kinda an open house 1030-2.

    Nothing lol. My venue is a bed and breakfast so they're providing breakfast for us and our immediate family, but as far as something organized by me for everyone, no thanks Haha.

    We’re hosting a brunch the next morning at our home. It’ll just be for those who are staying in our house (10 people!), the wedding party, and other out-of-town family members who are t staying at our house. We’re actually having it catered by Waffle House, which I can’t believe I’m openly admitting. (I don’t mind their food but find the restaurants to be disgusting.) They actually cook the food right at your place instead of bringing it in pre-cooked. It’s only going to be about $400 for 25 people.

    We rented a house for the weekend of our wedding for all out of towners and us to stay that is close to our venue. Our reception ends at 830 so I am assuming there will be an unofficial after party at the rental house afterwards but nothing is officially planned.

    None. My family hosted a "welcome BBQ" the night before for any our out-of-town guests who wanted to stop by but the day after? No way. We were exhausted (hubby got sick before the wedding and spent out 1st mini-moon day in bed), guests were all leaving at different times,and we wanted to guests their own time to do as they wished.

    We did a bbq in our yard the day after. Gave everyone including ourselves enough time to sleep in and it started at 1. It was everyone’s first time getting to see our new home as well.
