Because of noise ordinances, our reception must wrap up by 10pm. Which is fine, it starts at 5 and we are hosting an open bar - so 5 hours is plenty! But, FH and the groomsmen (and a couple of my bridesmaids!) are... enthusiastic about their partying. So, we rented out a small restaurant/bar a block from the hotel from 10pm-2am and hired a techno DJ with a lights show. We will be offering late night snacks. Everyone is invited to come and stay as long as they please. I will be changing out of my gown and into something more casual. The bridal party is invited to do the same and they are NOT required to attend this. I know my sisters will want to get back to their little ones and my best friend does not like late nights (honestly, neither do I. I'm in bed with a good book by 9 most nights). But FH never wants a party to end, so his BM and I wanted a way for the day to last a little longer.
Here is my question: Do we need to host another open bar for the after party?! ...
