Day Weddings.....

Just curious to see how many are having day weddings. To be more precise...how many are having the reception starting at around 1ish???

Re: Day Weddings.....

Here's my day: 1130-1200 ceremony, 12 - 1 cocktail hour 1-5 reception :)

Re: Day Weddings.....

Are you doing all of your pics in the moring before your ceremony? Are you going to see ur FI before the ceremony?

Re: Day Weddings.....

Me! Out ceremony starts at 12:30, CH is from 1-2, reception from 2-7. Or does it end at 6? LOL, I can't remember!

Re: Day Weddings.....

We already live together, so we will see eachother. We are taking pics before the ceremony, I'm not sure where yet. I am hoping it won't be too cold to take pics outside.

Re: Day Weddings.....

We're going to take all the pictures that don't involve us seeing eachother before the ceremony (just girls, just guys, bridal party, etc.) And then do all group pictures w/ us afterwards. That shouldn't take more than 1/2 an hour... i hope

Re: Day Weddings.....

Fh and I chose a daytime wedding simply because it was cheaper, but I wonder if having it during the day will make it less festive and party-like?

Re: Day Weddings.....

I chose a day wedding because my FI has alot of family from Jersey and it would make it alot easier for them, plus it is much cheaper :)

I'm so afraid that it won't be party-like. I will kill whoever doesn't dance, LOL

I got Chezzam, they are an entertainment company, but not a cheesey one. They do shows (like short versions of B'way shows) for the guests so maybe they will get motivated :) I sure hope so anyway :)

Re: Day Weddings.....

I just went to the Newlywed board to ask about the daytime weddings. Let's see what they say. FH says not toworry about it- his whole family loves to dance, so he thinks they will keep it upbeat and happy.

Re: Day Weddings.....

I went to a day wedding this summer and we still had a lot of fun.

We also did it cuz of the price - though now that i've thought about the time I'm going to wake up i don't know if i'll survive

Re: Day Weddings.....

TELL me about it! I didnt realize how fecking EARLY I would have to be up! Sheesh. I'll probably snooze right thru the vows.

Re: Day Weddings.....

My ceremony is from 11:30-12
Cocktail hour 12-1
Reception 1-5

Re: Day Weddings.....

yeah... maybe i'll just blow dry my hair and apply my own make - up... that should give me a few hours of sleep....

though, i'll probably be up all night anyways...

i'll just sleep through the wedding night instead

Re: Day Weddings.....

My Ceremony is going to be like 10:00 in the morning!!!!!! Ughhhhhhh I'm scared :( :( :(

Re: Day Weddings.....

Aww - it'll be early, but I'm sure it will be fine.

you'll probably be running on adrenaline all day anyways so you'll be fine!

Re: Day Weddings.....

I am having a day wedding too. I did it because its cheaper and I wanted to do reception on Sat. I am still wondering what to do about pictures - I know I will have to do it before the ceremony which is before 11:30am. I am thinking about doing the photos in Queens or Brooklyn.
Yes, I have to wake up so early too - I am not a morning person!

Re: Day Weddings.....

Oh Boy...I am so not the morning person. I was warning all the photographers that I get cranky in the am!!!

Re: Day Weddings.....

I hate mornings too! I was figuring that I have to wake up at like 4:30am. I have to be at my place by 11am & it's an hour's drive to the place. It is going to be a crazy morning.

Re: Day Weddings.....

Church is 11am, Reception is 1:30-6:30.

I like having in in the afternoon so we can still enjoy our wedding night! Plus I have all of my nieces and nephews in the BP (11 total) and I want them to be able to stay awake for it.

Re: Day Weddings.....

Well thank God that the Church and reception hall are both 5 minutes from my house. Wooooo
