How early is too early

I would do 6pm it’s late enough where not many people would have to take off work since it’s a Friday

I’m having mines on a weekday and it will start around 1130. Fortunately, all of our guests are either retired, or have jobs where they can take off easily.

I think you should do 4 or 5 it gives people a little time to get ready but it’s not super late. It also depends on what kind of guests you have. Do you have a lot of children? Are you ok with them leaving early if your wedding is later? Are you having Mainly adults that like to party all night?

I was thinking four or five, but wasn't sure if ot was too late, we only have a few kids coming, the majority are partiers

View Quoted Comment I wish i could say the same it would make things a lot easier lol.

We're doing 5:30 in June. So kids should be out of school along with my teacher friends. That gives about 30 minutes or less probably for ceremony, cocktail hour, and then a 4 hour reception. I believe we have our space until 11:30.

I think it depends if the majority of your guests are local or out of town! If most of your guests are coming from out of town I would say 5:00pm. However if many are local and planning to work you might want to do it later. For example, I work at school and get out earlier than most (2:45pm) by the time I got home and got myself wedding ready it would be 4:30pm!

We are having a Friday wedding and doing it at 5:00pm

I'm having my wedding on a friday and the ceremony is st 330

View Quoted Comment Most guests are local maybe ill feel out who is planning on working and go from there lol

View Quoted Comment I really want to do ours on the earlier side but im so worried about it.

I'm having a Friday wedding. We are doing our ceremony at 5, cocktail hour 5:30 to 6:30, dinner/dancing 6:30-10:30 I believe. I don't care if everyone makes the ceremony. Less people looking at me haha!
