Attending Cocktail Hour...need opinions

Original post by dreamy

How do you feel about attending cocktail hour and mingling with your guests before you're announced as husband & wife at the dinner reception like I see most couples doing? Anyone doing that?

For those of you taking pictures before the ceremony...

Im trying to get my grandfather down from CT earlier...so my aunt and uncle will be there (driving grandpa)...(nice family shot of dads side)

I am also thinking about asking my moms 2 brothers and sister to get there a little earlier for a pic of that side of family...and my cousins will be helping me in the morning so we will have a shot with the 5 that are closest to me...

Do you mind that the people you mentioned who are going early for pics will be seeing you before the ceremony?? I'm not sure what to do, since our wedding is smaller 60 people, and many are immediate family, if we include them in the pics before, 1/3 of our guests will have seen me before the ceremony. But, I also don't want to drag people out of the cocktail hour for more than 5 minutes. I guess I have to talk to our photographers soon.

I don't want anyone to see me, and that is just b/c I want to WOOW them and that's just me, also I stress and get nervous easily and if I hear a million people asking me silly questions that will stress me and I don't want that, plus my mom would be stressed about too many people at her house.. family or not..

We are having our family shots after our ceremony. since we have two hours till cocktails.

From the other post (grandfaterh, cousins??), I thought you meant that some of your family IS going to see you before the ceremony for pics??
