Reception after wedding

[mrs07312012]

Okay so I may be premature on this , I don't have a appt to speak with my WC until the end of July, I am a planner and panicker and my wedding is July 31st 2012. Still 8 months away but feels like every day is trickling by and if something is not completed that day I feel like I am wasting time.

Ok any who, I was wondering what some brides did after their Sandals wedding. I am expecting about 20 guest so I do think that I want to have the sit down dinner I think it was $50 a person, all my guest are most deffiently staying at the resort, so what did everyone do after, did you go dancing with your group did you do something special. My wedding is at 4pm so I'm assuming that the dinner will be around 5:30 or so and than that will run till like 7:30 , that just seems so early.... any suggestions!!

My sister is getting married there at 4pm on June 19th.  (I am June 21st so our family could be at both weddings) She's going to also do the 2 hour reception and we figured since by then it would already be after 7pm that most people would probably end up just hanging around and partying with each other anyway.  We are all staying at BSB so it makes it easy to get back to the room after celebrating all night!  We do have kids that will be there too so unless the bride and groom ditch the kids for the night going out to a club is off the table for them. 

Good luck with your planning!!

We went with the 1 hour cocktail reception after our ceremony. We had 16 guests and  our wedding was suppose to be at 3 but it rained an hour before the wedding and it was pushed back to 4 . I don't think 5:30 is too early for dinner. Happy planning!
