What do you guys think?

Since my reception ends at 5pm I wanted to do something afterwards. At first I was thinking about maybe bar/lounge, but FH doesnt drink. Then I saw a bride post that she went bowling after her wedding. I thought this was such a cool idea, especially since me and FH bowl with our friends.

We would bowl in 42nd st which would be walking distance to the hotel. We would bowl for less than 2 hrs then go on our merry way. I would also have the photographer booked for a couple extra hours to capture the fun.

I thought it was cool and wouldnt cost that much. I would pay for the show rental and the lanes too.

FH wasnt opposed by the idea but thought I was going to be tired. I think I will want the night to continue.....

It sounds like fun! I say go for it! We booked an afterparty with our RH. It will go from 1 am - 3:00 am haha!! Our families are big partiers :)

Sounds like fun!!!!!!!!!!!
but did you guys extend your wedding hours or what exactly are you guys doing?

Hi! We added on an extra two hours. The wedding ends at 1 am (ceremony 7:30 pm, cocktail hour 8-9:00 pm, dinner/dancing 9-1am , after partay 1 am-3 am). We knew we wanted: 1. someplace to chill after the wedding, 2. food!! 3. A place where our parents/family and our friends could all chill. I just didn't want to have to think about 'what next'. I'm so happy I did it!

That's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i would LOVE to do this but photography & video would charge us obviously 2 extra hours not to mention RH

I asked the photographer how much it would be per hour extra and its $150/hr. So I was thinking one photographer for 2 hrs extra would be enough time to get there and the photographer stay for 1.5 hrs.

Do you think thats enough time?
