* It isn't your in-laws making any demands, but proper etiquette if you are opening the gift envelopes at the reception. Most parents of the bride and groom give monetary gifts so they would like to be there to enjoy you opening their gift. Some couples have a gift opening the day after the wedding because there is too much going on at the wedding. If you don't want them there then you shouldn't take the gift they gave you.
You thank everyone for coming.

Most people will have their wedding reception begin immediately after their wedding. Once the wedding party arrives, everyone will start eating. The entire reception usually lasts about 4 to 5 hours.
