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

We won't - we'll be taking pictures - but our bridal attendant will bring us all the yummy food

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

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.

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.

I will probably stick my head in but I intend on relaxing in the bridal suite!

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.

Thanks! I did not realize that pictures will take so long.

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.

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!

Wouldn't miss my CH for anything. That's the best part! I can mingle with everyone and relax.

We'll be missing CH as well but the onsite photography studio and bridal suite will be stocked

Took our pics before the ceremony. Attended most of our CH. I wouldn't miss it for the world.

We hope to make it there for a little bit, but the majority of time we'll be taking photos.

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.
