Do brides host a brunch or luncheon the day after the wedding?

the to and of for with day your %26amp you it after

Best Answer

My sister is getting married next week %26amp; they%26#039;re having a brunch the following day. She %26amp; the groom have guests traveling from far %26amp; hosting a brunch will allow them to spend more one-on-one time with their family %26amp; friends. They%26#039;re not taking a honeymoon vacation, but do plan on getting away the following weekend. They wanted the brunch to be fun %26amp; relaxing for everyone so it%26#039;s being catered by a small Mexican restaurant %26amp; will be buffet style, including a margarita machine. I think it%26#039;s a nice way for everyone to get to know each other %26amp; spend more personal time with the bride %26amp; groom. I%26#039;m sure the guests will appreciate the extra time after they%26#039;ve spent so much on gifts, airfare %26amp; hotel accommodations.

Yes, I%26#039;ve seen this done before and I think it%26#039;s a great idea. Especially for out of town guests. I%26#039;m planning on having a brunch the day after our wedding next May... then we%26#039;re leaving that afternoon/evening for our honeymoon :)
I think it%26#039;s a great way to spend more time with the out of towners and show your appreciation for their travels.
I just traveled out of town to a friends wedding... I was a bridesmaid and still felt like i got NO time to talk to her... with her reception of over 300 people... then they left for their honeymoon early the next morning. I would have enjoyed having a brunch in that situation. But to each his own :)
If you have a lot of relatives and friends coming in from out of town, the couple does usually host a brunch the next day at the hotel. It is not required at all, but if you can fit it into your budget, it is nice to be able to see your family in a more casual setting and spend some more time with everyone.

We had a lunch for the gift opening the next day, at my mom%26#039;s house - because her house was big enough, and it was summer, so the backyard could be used too.
Lately, the family weddings we have been to have had the gift opening and lunch at the hotel where the reception was held - with the hotel giving them use of a %26#039;party%26#039; room free.
It is upto the bride %26amp; her inlaws to take such decision . If the inlaws are ready , and she can manage with the household chores of preparing the dishes or taking the guests out to some restaurant, then ofcourse she can be the host.
Most definately no unless u want just family to come over but this is your honeymoon do u really want to spend it with other people when u could be cuddlin with your new hubby. if u want to have a brunch for family and friends do it a couple of days before the wedding but dont do it after the wedding u will be too busy with your new hubby...
It really depends on the family tradition and if the bride %26amp; groom will be available.
My family has a tradition of breakfast at a buffet or family style restaurant the day after. Mostly for the bride %26amp; groom to be able to chat more with out of town guests. It%26#039;s usually a lot of fun talking about the previous day and catching up with people that you didn%26#039;t have time to really talk to.

Unfortunately I couldn%26#039;t do that with mine because we were leaving for Hawaii the very next morning and didn%26#039;t have the time.
