After Daytime Wedding

Honestly, I'd let this develop organically. It sounds like fun now, but I bet you're going to be exhausted after being ready for 11:00 and spending all day entertaining.

If you formally invite people, you're kinda responsible for paying....

I wouldn't formally invite people. It would be more of a, this is where we are going, join if you like sort of thing.

Yeah, don't create a thing. If several people are like, "where to?" Follow their lead.

Maybe research some places that would work out and have them in mind in case it seems like a good idea at the time. Then you can suggest them and see what works for everyone.

Celia said it perfectly: I'd let this develop organically. If you're not looking to formally invite anyone, I would just wait to see what people say towards the end of the reception, and maybe keep a few places in mind. Maybe look into restaurants that have a bar area so you're not exactly just at a straight up bar, but you also aren't having the full-blown restaurant experience either? I'm not familiar with your area, so I don't have specific suggestions. I also wanted to note that if you somehow did go the Airbnb route... read the listing carefully, because many property owners do not allow parties/events. I ran into this during my initial search for my DW. If there is a hotel that most of your guests are staying at that has a lobby bar, or lounge that might be an option too.

I guess the few places in mind is what I had the question regarding - what other people have done in the past after a daytime wedding? I would love to hear examples to see what options are out there!

@veeismeee, yup, that is the problem I was running into with the airbnb, no event/parties, etc. This would be so much easier if I had a house! Then I could be like, come back to my place and hang if you want lol. I guess I just don't want to be all blank when people are asking, what is going on this evening? And I'm like, ummm, I don't know? Lol. I just want to have some ideas in the back of my mind if nothing "official" is happening.

Yes! We were looking for a place just to host dinner, with a private chef or something, for a small group of about 15 people, but couldn't find anything, so we are hosting dinner at a small restaurant instead.

I was a bridesmaid for a friend's daytime wedding, and afterwards a few of us gathered some bottles of wine, some beer, and some snacks and had a small picnic at a gorgeous, local park, and then bar hopped a little bit after that, but it was a small group, and a fairly informal wedding. Sorry that I don't have any more suggestions beyond that, but hopefully someone else has something!

Can't go back to your place?

Also if out of towners are at hotels, many have bars or pools. You can go hang out there!

A clubhouse might be what your looking for. Sometimes apartment complex or condo have clubhouse that their renters/owners can use for parties. A friend of mine did this for her daughters birthday after party. It had access to a pool, had BBQ grill, pool table, kitchen area, chairs tables. It was very nice. That may work for you.
