Cocktail Hour

We attended our cocktail hour and it was so worth it. You get to spend time greeting your guest and enjoying all your hard work. We got to enjoy our reception even more. We left the cocktail hour before it ended to freshen up. Whether your guest see you or not, you will still get to make your 'big entrance' I did not even have to ask hubby twice, he said we paid for the whole thing we will attend the whole thing

All the best and happy planning

I am paying for it - I am going to be there....

We did NOT attend our cocktail hour, and I really dont reget the decision (except that we didnt get to see our sax and keyboard player). After the ceremony we took some pictures and then it was so nice to relax and have time with my new husband in our bridal suite. They brought us plenty of food and drinks so that was not an issue at all. The day went by so quickly, so I was happy to have some 'quiet' time during the day!
I think there are pros and cons to both chioces, you gotta do what makes you happy!
