Get togethers

Are any of you have a Pre or Post wedding get together? Either the night before or day after the wedding? I'm thinking of arranging brunch for my loved ones the day after my wedding. What do you think?

We did both. Got together at the venue the night before for a few drinks, friends and family brought smacks&slow coolers with curry etc then we put on breakfast Sunday morning using our wedding caterer! It was perfect!

Brunch the next day is a fab idea. It works for those late risers better than meeting for breakfast lol. Less stress the day after as well so a more relaxed do x

I stayed at a hotel with my mum, bridesmaids and my 2 daughters. My 4 sons came at lunchtime on the day of our wedding. We had dinner and drinks together. It was just me and my husband the morning after for breakfast which was nice. Then home to the kids. The following day we went to the airport for our 10 nights in st lucia. We had a family moon to disney a few months after. Whatever you do I hope you have a lovely time xx

We did both and had a family dinner the night before the wedding - which was great and loads of fun! My mil arranged a lunch the Sunday the day after the wedding which we found quite stressful as we wanted to just spend some time together and chill...

Haven’t thought about the night before yet but definitely won’t be doing anything the day after except spending it together and with our son!

We had a meal the night before with friends and family .. mainly because alot of people had travelled so it was nice to have somewhere sorted for tea and to see every one an extra day

We had a venue that offered a private dining buffet breakfast for the guests that stayed at the hotel and it was so nice to have everyone together reminiscing about the night before 🥰

A load of us had breakfast together the next day, mostly because there were so many of us staying at the same hotel. It wasn't specifically planned that way, but it was lovely. I'd recommend it.

Some of us will be having breakfast the day after our wedding (mainly because we are staying at the same hotel) and because we are leaving at 9am to get to the airport 🍾

We had a get together with family and wedding party the night before. My chief bridesmaid stayed over. A lot of us stayed the night at the golf club the night of the wedding so we all had breakfast together the next morning. Then we went to my parents after breakfast and opened our gifts!

I was lucky in that my venue allowed us a wedding weekend, dinner on the Friday night, wedding on the Saturday and a late brunch on the Sunday. Not all our guests, but the most important 24. Don’t know where you are getting married but couldn’t recommend Pentre Mawr Country House more (North Wales borders). They are utterly amazing!

We organised a day out to a country park that was local to where we got married, you spend all this time building up to your big day that the next day you can feel quite sad, all of a sudden you have nothing to organise or do (unless you have a honeymoon planned) it was nice seeing everyone the day after and hearing their stories about your big day as you seem to miss a lot. It gives you something to look forward too.

Having a dinner the night before and a brunch the day after, for anyone who has chosen to stay in hotels near the venue before/after. We also did a brunch after our engagement party and it was lovely. My parents hosted it at their house and people just dropped in and out from 11-2ish, was really nice.

Me and my H2B have family and friends local but also family and friends travelling from afar and want to make the most of everyone’s visit so are thinking of having a bbq (August wedding) at ours the day after - very casual and open to whom ever wants to pop in! Me and my then husband love a bbq and gives us a relaxing day with everyone xx
