Reception redo?

Tiana, on August 10, 2024 at 7:39 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 3
Hello everyone I just got married on July 27, and the day was beautiful, the ceremony was perfect, but our reception was not. It felt un organized because we were ahead of schedule my photographer was adjusting when we were doing things, so we went to go do golden hour photos early, thinking we’d be done earlier to go dance with family(which was the most important part to me) no she took us for 2 hours and people left and I didn’t get to dance with barely anyone. I’m so devastated. Should I do a reception re do? Just a fun little time? I keep thinking about it and I want to do it just don’t know when or where or what to do for it. Is it worth it?

    I would just try focusing on the parts you loved and not dwell on the parts that weren’t what you wanted. Everyone has issues in their wedding that didn’t turn out how they planned, but that’s a normal part of life. You could do an anniversary party at maybe five years, but I’m afraid redoing it now just because you didn’t like parts of it is not proper and is asking a lot of your guests.

    There are things that go "wrong" at pretty much every wedding, but most of the time, the issues aren't cause for a whole new reception. I think it makes sense if the wedding were interrupted by severe weather or some other extreme situation, but I wouldn't spend the time or money to plan an entire reception redo for the purpose of dancing with more people. There are ways you could dance with everyone without having another reception. I like Andrea's idea of an anniversary party or vow renewal at a milestone year! Or, you could plan a non-wedding-related summer BBQ, play some music (or book a DJ), and dance with everyone at that event. Or, you could organize a group to attend a concert to dance.

    I agree with the others, having a redo because you weren't happy with some of it doesn't really make sense. I think having a party is a good idea, with the focus not on your recent marriage. Congrats!
