Groom and I are trying to feel out a morning after option. We did a ton of research and narrowed it down to two options, both of which would cost around $2,000 and this is pretty out of our budget.
Here’s the facts: we are paying for our wedding in its entirety by ourselves. Neither of our parents are contributing financially due to their restrictions - which is perfectly okay. Our parents are not paying for a rehearsal dinner or welcome party, which we do not intend to have a welcome party. We’re dishing out pretty expensive gift bags upon hotel check-in.
We are having a large number of out of towners including family and friends, and our post wedding brunch would be for about 50 and this is family and bridal party only.
MOG and FOG are split up, divorce is still fresh, and they are STILL negotiating both being at the wedding, planning an additional event sounds like another hurdle where either one side won’t come, or there will be another setting for chaos to monitor.
Must we have a post-wedding event? It’s a lot of out of town family and it would be the kindest to see them, but it’s kind of an all or nothing scenario, not just a few people. And the idea of waking up with my husband and getting champagne tipsy while we open gifts alone and eat leftover cake sounds amazing.
To brunch or not to brunch? How rude are we if we don’t?
