Us plus 11 guests don't know whether to go home get changed and go for a meal, open to other suggestions Smile

I had a small, registry office wedding with just immediate family present. We went for a 5 course meal at a lovely hotel afterwards. H and I stayed there for the night after everyone else went home and then went for a short city break honeymoon the next day.
It was very low key but lovely, perfect for us.

We had the same - just us and our kids. Then we just walked down the road and had a beautiful lunch for 18 family and friends at our local "nice restaurant". I didn't want any fuss but DH organised a lovely cake for us to cut, he's an old romantic !

Enjoy your day !

Don't get changed, just go out for a meal somewhere nice with your guests. Always lovely to see a little wedding party going on and think happy thoughts to the bride and groom!

Yes as pp said don't get changed , go for a lovely meal in your wedding finery. Hope you have a lovely day.

You get to wear your dress for that day only. Like others have said, I'd keep it on Smile

Iโ€™d go for a meal out too, somewhere really nice, and let everyone wear their good clothes a bit longer. Maybe buy some nice wine for the table too, perhaps a little wedding cake if you want one. Itโ€™ll be like a tiny wedding reception, but just for your actual favourite people ๐Ÿ˜

We're going to a restaurant after the registry office but we've hired a small private room there. It's a little extra to hire the room but hopefully worth it as you get some privacy from the regular restaurant.

And Iโ€™d either add or remove one guest so you donโ€™t have 13 at the table ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™ˆ
