Alternative Hour
The question of the day is..
Would you be offended if there would be two endings to a wedding?. FH and I are having the last hour of the wedding to be.. let's just say heavy metal hour. We know it will freak people out so we are telling them about it in an insert in the the invitations. That way they can leave before the hour and everyone can have their way. Offensive or not?
I put this on the Brides Helping Brides post and got some interesting feedback. A lot of people thought I want to send an invitation saying that the last hour is for us, (we don't care if you like the music or not, so get out.) Not so. It would be like an enclosure to the invitation. We would be having 2 full endings to the wedding. About 30-40 people would be staying for this particular hour (and afterwards at the bar ). Anyone that wants to stay can, they can relax in the garden area. We figured one hour for us to have what we want isn't too wrong since everyone keeps telling us what we have to 'have'.
This is what I am thinking as an insert
We hope you will join us for this special day. There will be something a little different in the official last hour of the wedding. We enjoy an alternative type of music (that is harder than typical wedding music), and from 5-6 p.m we will be showcasing that. We recognize that this music is not suitable for everyone, so we will be having two endings to our wedding. The official wedding will run from 12:30- to 4:30, and from 5-6 we will have our heavier music, so as to not offend.
We appreciate everyone’s understanding regarding this, and hope to see you there.
