Everyone has to put their 2 cents in

Original post by laulac98

Ok, so the most stressful thing about planning this wedding has been listening to everyone's criticism. As of right now, we have our church booked for 3:00 and our cocktail hour starts at 7. In my mind it's fine because we need time for the receiving line after the church, pictures at the church, traveling from church to RH (there will no doubt be traffic from Queens to LI on a Friday afternoon in the summer) and then taking our pictures at the RH before the CH so FH and I can be at the CH. My grandmothers have been on my a** about having too much time in between the church and CH. They're worried about what everyone's going to do in between. I told them that I can't worry about what 50 people are going to be doing for 3 hours, we have to do it this way because it works better for us. Am I wrong? I feel like not many people will come to the church anyway (only immediate family and close friends). My grandmothers have been giving me so much grief about this that I don't even want to talk about the wedding with them because they ALWAYS say something! So frustrating!

dont worry we're doing the same thing ...we also really want to be at our cocktail hour so we def need all the time in between so that we make it...I'm also only expecting family and close friends to be at the wedding....Call WM and ask them what they'll do for guests that arrive early???....we went to a wedding last friday and got there about 45 mins early...the staff was ready with the champagne and apps

did you ask your rh what they do with people who arrive early?
i think you will be fine



My BM said that they'll be ready for guests a half hour before the start time (6:30) so if people want they can get there then. I'm doing what I want anyway, I'm not changing the time of the church, but I hate having to listen to everyone's little remarks about this all the time. I complain to FH about it all the time lol

People will find something to do...they always do. If anything they can go back to the hotel/home and relax. They'll be fine.

Its your wedding, do what you want, when you want. Dont worry about time gaps. The guests will deal.

Dont let it stress you out, im sure they will find something to do in between. I realized when planning a wedding, your not going to make everyone happy and you shoulnt have to b/c its your day

You're absolutely right they will be sitting in traffic at that time so no worries. Probably just the right amount of time. Tell everyone else to shove it. If people are early then they are early what can you do...
