Getting married in June. Would LOVE some tips to add to the below!
After reading lots of helpful threads the advice which comes up the most is:
-Having *plenty of food and seating. Guests often skip breakfast and will be drinking so lots of food on offer
-'Cocktail hour' drink expected but if nothing more than one each, there should be a bar available
-Not taking more than an hour for photographs, take time to mingle with guests and enjoy the cocktail hour.
-Ideally very little traveling between venues
-Thoughtful seating plan - people want to sit with who they know (when possible of course)

We were advised for the wedding breakfast, approx half a bottle of wine per guest is a good shout so a table with 8 adults should have 4 bottles
During the welcome reception/cocktail hour (ours won't be more than 1.5 hours long) how much drink should be provided ideally? We were thinking enough for 1 alcoholic drink and also a selection of lemonades/fruit punch etc
We are doing canapés as well if this makes a difference

@Rocknrollstar Yes the bar will be open (but not free)
More drinks served during the wedding breakfast itself but just curious whether one glass of fizz and one glass of fruit punch/lemonade during the cocktail hour (well 1.5 hours) is going to seem stingy
