How long after the DW should the AHR be?

man oh man i read this thread too late! We will get home from Jamaica on the 16th and our AHR is the 19th. It is catered so they do alot and the venue does not need much decoration at all. My only concern is the pics for the slideshow. I hope we can get them together in time!

were getting married april 14th of 2012, coming back home on the 18th and holding our AHR on the 16th of may..... i dont think its a rule of sorts, just make sure there are no long weekeds coming up or holidays...that will effect your guest count!

We are getting married January 28th in Mexico and having our AHR March 9th! Is anyone sending out STD for their AHR??

Is there really any " suggested" time you should have your AHR within?

I would say within 2 months would be good.

I think 1-2 months.

We are coming home from Mexico June 30th and having our AHR July 27th. I think a month is a good amount of time. You don't want to drag it out too long.

We got married in May and I was going to plan a reception when I came home, but it was the summertime and everyone would be away. Plus, I felt very overwhelemed after I came home. My mother passed while I was engaged( I think that's why I was overhwlemed).  Now my mother-in-law(who is visiting from greece) just found out she has cancer. She will be staying in the states for treament.  I was thinking of having it in december(when treatment will be completed) so she could attend(she didnt go to mexcio).  After reading how people had theirs about 2-3 months after, I feel weird having it. Everyone who will be invited knows all about the both mom's situations.  My husband doesnt want to have one, thinking it's too late. My maid of honor said I should, a bridesmaid said I should have had it when we came back.  I seriously could not plan another event when I returned.  I really want to have one(and wear my dress again!).  Just wondering what people thought....
