You lot are always great for pointing out snags in plans others haven’t thought of. I’d be grateful for some critical eyes on my wedding day timetable.
We’ve changed this plan so many times trying to get what’s best for us, best for our guests, and doesn’t cost more than we can afford. Current thoughts are as follows. This is for all guests staying all day, no separate evening guests.
2.30pm - Church ceremony starts. Hopefully late enough most people will have been able to get lunch in before coming. Ceremony roughly an hour.
4-4.15pm - guests get to reception venue 5-10 minutes drive away, assuming ceremony takes until 3.30pm, allowing for some picture taking at the church, some general faffing and possibly waiting for some people doing car ferrying to go back and forth a couple of times.
4.15pm - crisps/dips/nuts/olives. Drinks. Some entertainment TBC.
5.30pm? 6pm? (I cant figure this out. Is 6pm too long from arrival?) wedding breakfast, which is substantial sharers, hot fork buffet, mini dessert options - the food is really important to us and won’t be scrimped on.
7.30/8ish - speeches. Will be 4-5 of us speaking so needs plenty of time.
8.30ish - cake cutting, first dance.
9/9.30pm - Cheese (cheese wedding cake) laid out with crackers, naice breads, chutneys, olives, nuts.
Finish - Wrap up whenever, private land so don’t have to be out by any time.
How does this sound? What am I missing? Would you be hungry? Thanks all.
