I'll third these two, we're not into the whole formal wedding reception, so we're having the welcome donkey party on Thursday, the ceremony on Fri night then dinner and will most likely head to the night club for dancing and drinking afterwards. It's up to you, whatever you want to do! We're even cutting the wedding party short, just a MOH and BM? (lol that sounds a little funny) simply because we don't want to force people to have to pay that cannot afford it, plus he has a thousand guys that would want to be in his wedding party, and I only have a couple close girls. Its all about what YOU want to do, don't feel the pressure of some other weddings if that's not what you're into! Good luck!
