Ceremony too late?

Original post by bowlergyal

So I have to make a decision real quick! My original time ti have my ceremony is 8pm. This means cocktail hour will be 8:30-9:30.....dinner served at 10:30 reciption over at 1:30. Originally we said ok because our date is a tuesday, the day before july 4th and we wanted people who work to have time to make everything. Now I'm worried diner will be served too late...do you think its too late? Has anyone been to a late wedding like this? Although its tuesday...its really like a friday night wedding. My only other option is to have the CH at 7...but we would have to get married somewhere else. And it might be hard for people to get there for the CH if they had to work that day. Help........

My FH thinks we should leave it....

Our ceremony is at 7 and we are still going to 1:30. I don't think it is too late. I guess we'll see.

I think most people will get out of work early so if you feel more comfortable having it earlier I would change it....I do think its a little late for dinner for older people...good luck!

I personally think thats a tad bit late. I would try to push the ceremony earlier.

You may be able to push it a little earlier -- only because many 9-5ers get early dismissal before a work holiday. For example, I used to get out at 1pm from my old job and my new job lets us out at 3pm. That may help allow your guests to get there earlier. Even having a 30 minute diff. may help ease your fears!
