Weddings are no longer drive-by events. They are now weekend-long celebrations designed to maximize quality time with your loved ones. After all, many of us no longer live in the same town, or even the same state, as our family and longtime friends.
It’s become a new tradition to plan a morning-after brunch for you to see your guests one final time before they head home. This can be informal and no-host (meaning everyone pays for themselves) at a local restaurant. You could also do a casual reception at the hotel where the guests are staying. A hotel buffet allows a guest to either leisurely hand out, or grab and go before their flight.
Or you could host another event at your home. Your tent and floor will probably still be there. You can arrange with your rental company to leave the tables and chairs behind. Your caterer would be more than happy to help you with this, or you could do something as simple as Dunkin’. Either way you host a post-wedding brunch, your guests will be thrilled for the chance to spend some more time with you.
Make a plan for letting guests know about the brunch. You can include these event details with your invitation, and you can track your brunch RSVPs alongside your wedding RSVPs.
