We’re having 18 people, immediate family only plus a few cousins. Our venue is a resort where we’re all staying, and the actual wedding is in a ‘great room’ adjacent to a private dining room, so we’ll have the ceremony in the great room (1 hour), followed by a cocktail hour (1 hour), then dinner and cake (1.5 hours). We have the venue for 5 hours, and I’m trying to decide if we should turn the great room into a lounge/dancing area for the remaining 1.5 hours, or what we should do for that time. My fiancé absolutely hates dancing and will not dance to anything more than our first dance and a few more slow dances if we play them. The venue is 3 hours away from our guests (it’s destination weekend wedding) so I feel the need to entertain everyone for the full 5 hours. Plus some are coming from out of state and we want to spend time together.
There is a fun town 20 mins away, and a brewery down the street. Should I try to find a show or some entertainment to go to after the reception dinner?
It will be very cold out so anything outdoors isn’t an option. I’m just trying to avoid awkwardness.
