If the time between the start of the reception and the start of the grand entrance is 35 minutes, Should I provide snacks/appetizers for my guests? I was thinking about cutting costs by not suppling snacks and just having the DJ encourage guests to grab a drink at the bar, mingle, take pictures at the photo booth and sign the guestbook. I think this will give my guests plenty to do until the grand entrance so they won't be left just waiting around. Below is a part of our timeline:
Ceremony- 7:00-7:30pm
Reception Starts/Bar is open at 7:30pm
Grand Entrance into First Dance- 8:05-8:10pm
Welcome Speech/Blessing over the food- 8:10-8:15pm
Dinner is served- 8:15-9:15pm
What do y'all think?
