Re: Friday night weddings....

I'm sorry I put 7:30 but it's really 7:00 but I extended it 1/2 hour in case people are late they don't have to feel rushed.

Re: Friday night weddings....

8pm for me and that is so no one is rushing and can get there on time. Its actually a 7:30 invite so if they do arrive early they can start the CH right away.

Re: Friday night weddings....

I'm having my CH starting at 6:30, our church is at 4pm; 30 minute ceremony, 15 min drive to reception hall, 5-10 min drive from the hotels to reception site. Most will be from OOT, so we will probably have a 'hospitality' room in between...

Re: Friday night weddings....

Mine is starting at 8, which gives people who aren't coming to the church, plenty of time to get home and get ready.

Re: Friday night weddings....

We started ours at 8
We were married at the hall. The invitation was for 7, but the ceremony didn't start until 7.30... we served cookies and champagned while people waited.

Re: Friday night weddings....

We started our CH right after the we got married, 6 pm everything worked out fine.

Re: Friday night weddings....

Ours is starting at 6:30, because we figured if we chose our place based a lot on the gorgeous view of the L.I. Sound, especially at sunset, we wanted to see the damn sunset and enjoy the view for awhile.

If someone can't get there until later, that's fine too. We figure we're only getting married once, we want to do it how we want to. If people are close (emotionally, not necessarily geographically) to us, they'll be there if they can.

I know in the reverse situation, if I was close to someone, I would be there regardless of what time it was.

Re: Friday night weddings....

We are starting ours at 8 because of traffic. It is Columbus Day weekend and a Friday = lots of traffic. I figure the later the better.
