  • Most reception halls have a closing hour of 1 AM. Generally the guests arrive right after the wedding for drinks and finger foods while the bride, groom and the rest of the wedding part as well as the parents of the bride and groom get their pictures taken. Dinner can be at 6 or 7 PM. The toasts start and then the newly married couple start the first dance; the groom dancing with his mother; the bride dancing with her father, then the groom dances with his mother in law and the bride dances with her father law.

How long can you wait to have a wedding reception after cerEmony?

I feel that it is completely up to the bride and groom. There really is no specific time. The only thing I can suggest is maybe an hour after wedding so people can go change and freshen up a little before the reception.

No, not all weddings are formal thanks to the 1960's where simple was in. Some people may get married by a judge and that's it; while others will have a small church wedding and then have the reception at one of the parents homes. Others will have a garden wedding where the wedding ceremony takes place; tents may be set up for the reception. Chapel wedding are in and then a garden reception where family can provide the food made by parents and relatives.

Can a mother of the bride wear the same dress to the wedding and a week later to the reception in different colors?

First of all, congrgulations! And second of all, no. The thing is most guests at the wedding pay attention to not only the bride, but the intermidiate family of the bride as well. If it's a money issue then I suggest wearing an older dress to the reception. maybe a more comforatable one if there is going to be dancing. But at the same time it is the reception of the wedding and i suppose you could wear a different colored one. I sure no one will really pay huge attention. As long as you look nice. You should do different things with your hair at the reception tho b/c you don't want to recreate your look at the reception from the wedding. you can wear the same dress in a different color as long as you wear different accesories, hair, makeup and nails. I hope this helps

Why do wedding ceremonies begin on the half hour?

The wedding ceremonies sometimes depend on when the reception time will begin. Reception sites often have rules where the events can only start at certain times, i.e. they start setup at 3 and open for the reception at 6. Therefore, a half-hour ceremony will begin at 5:30. You don't want to keep the guests waiting too long after the ceremony is over to start the reception so the times work out this way. The wedding begins on the half hour so that the minute hand on the clock is moving upward, as a signal of good luck. This is similar to the something old something new tradition.
