Wedding Timeline Tip: Never Party on an Empty Stomach!
One of the hardest parts about getting married is making sure you greet and spend at least a little time with each guest. With receiving lines becoming less and less popular, brides and grooms typically use dinner as their opportunity to work the room, say hello to each table, and take a group photo. While this is convenient and easy way to make sure you see everyone, it's also the reason most brides and grooms reply, "I don't know, we never got a chance to eat," when asked how the food was at their wedding. Eating keeps your energy up, energy you'll surely need on the dance floor once the SP Events team gets going!
For those brides and grooms who chose to do pictures before the ceremony (something that's becoming more popular), here's a timeline secret guaranteed to not only fill your stomach but also add a little romance to your wedding day. Following your ceremony, your guests are invited to a cocktail party that is scheduled to last for about an hour. You are then taken to a private room meant for just you and your husband/wife. The staff is instructed to keep family and guests away while you enjoy a private candlelight dinner for two. This time is meant for you to both not only eat a much-needed meal and have a well-deserved cocktail, but also to decompress and reflect on the beautiful ceremony you both just experienced.
After spending some quality time together, you can then join your guests for the end of the cocktail party or make your grand appearance as the SP Events DJ welcomes you into the reception hall for the first time as husband and wife!
