attending cocktail hour
Is anyone going to be attending their cocktail hour? FH and I want to (he wants to get his hands on the clam and oyster bar, and I want to enjoy the food as well)
I was thinking about just taking pictures for 20min or so. If we do attend and say our hello's to everyone will we still have to make the rounds when we get to the reception?
TIA

Re: attending cocktail hour
We have a big gap between Chruch and CH so we will be attending the entire CH and I can't wait.

Re: attending cocktail hour
We are planning on attending the cocktail hour, at least part of it.
We should be done with pics in time for us to go but, we might want to hang out in the bridal suite and eat a little before we go and see all of our guests.

Re: attending cocktail hour
I attended my cocktail hour -- it was great! You get a lot more time to talk to people (thought don't expect to eat, I never really moved, people just kept coming up to me).
However, 20 is not enough time for pictures -- unless you take some before.

Re: attending cocktail hour
We extended our CH by a half hour, so we're going to be taking pictures for the first half, and then we'll go inside for the rest of it.

Re: attending cocktail hour
We're not going to CH. I kind of want to make an "entrance" and have a lot of family pics to take, so we will be doing a lot after the ceremony.

Re: attending cocktail hour
Yes! Its immediately following the ceremony, so we might go to the bridal suite for a few minutes to have a moment alone, but CH has the best food, and we hired a steel drum band, I don't want to miss ANY of our party!!
We are taking all the pics before!

Re: attending cocktail hour
I am not sure yet if FH & I will be attending our CH, it will all depend on how long we take with pictures. Also we would like to hang out in the bridal suite with our BP for a little bit, since I really love the RH's bridal suite. We are not planning anything, we are just going to go with the flow. But we would like to pop into the CH if we have time to.

Re: attending cocktail hour
There is a gap between the Church and the Cocktail Hour so we will definitely be attending! We plan on doing picture in between so that we can enjoy the entire reception!

us too. And honestly I want to enjoy my reception also so if we've already said hello to our guests then no we will not be stopping during the reception also. We are paying a ton of money for our guest and OURSELVES to enjoy this party. And trust me we will be!!!!

Re: attending cocktail hour
We are seeing each other before the ceremony, which is in the hall, so we can take all the pictures and then we can enjoy the cocktail hour and greet everyone. If you stay in the bridal room, you really spend alot of time greeting everyone during the reception. We added alot of things to the cocktail hour and I dont want to miss it.

Re: attending cocktail hour
WE did and it was the best decision we made. We had time between church and reception so we took pictures then. We wanted to be a part of our whole wedding.
