Im not sure whether to either go for a meal after the ceremony or just go back home and then see everyone at the reception later? Were on abit of a budget so cant really afford to go for a meal and pay for everyone, would it be rude to say if they wanted to come they have to pay for their food? Arggghhhh this is stressful!

How about saying you are going to book a table at your fave resturaunt for you and the h2b after and if anyone would like to join you to let them know to book a table. That way its down to them to book and pay for a table not you.

No i don't think it's rude. Say that rather than a present which you don't need would your guests instead pay towards the cost of their meal so that they can celebrate with you. I know another of the ladies on here is doing that and has generally had a good response.

im assuming uv already arranged th time for the ceremony but if not can u not have it later so that u can go straight to the reception or bring the reception a little earlier seems a shame to go home
also friends of ours had a sit down meal but it was catered with lasagne and meat pie and a pasta option and it was delicious so the cost was a lot cheaper than 3 course meal?

Maybe go to an all you can eat place, keeps the cost down? Or a carvery, that might be quite nice and its a set price.. ask people if they want to join you and if they do, just let them know that they pay for themselves. xxx
Very very happy as Mrs Erica Trow
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world! xx
i dont think its rude either i did it last yr ppl will understand and if they cant afford to they will see you at the reception later on xx

My OHs cousin went back home after thier ceramony and really regretted it, i think its absolutly fine to tell people that you are gonig for a meal and if they want to join you they are more then welcome, or if possible move back your ceramony time and go straight to your reception. Its up to you, its your day do what feels best for you. x

I like XJOX's idea. That is a polite but fair way of doing things. That way the day also lasts longer as you are not waiting at home for the next part to start.

CommentAuthorlil miss sunshine
did you see on the news this morning that couple who had their reception in a fast food joint......not suggesting it but if they can go into a fast food restaurant then you can go to a restaurant
and now the next chapter

there was a similar post on here a few weeks ago were one b2b had asked ppl to pay for their meal and i don't think it's a bad idea at all she just said to them we don't want any gifts just for your presence at the wedding and if you would like to join us in a meal that would be great. At the end of the day you shouldn't be expected to pay for everyone xx
Live for today
