Heyyy, happy planning everyone! I’m undecided on having an after a party .. my wedding is ending early at 4 PM on a Saturday. I was thinking about having an after party of some sort around six or seven-ish that evening with close family/friends and turn up. We leave that Monday for our honeymoon so wasn’t sure if I wanted to go back to hotel and just relax with my husband alone or party lol. I’m torn bc we are paying for every part of wedding and honeymoon ourself so didn’t want to spend MORE MONEY. However part of me wants to bc it ends so early. If we do decide to do an after party, what could we do that’s not breaking the bank? Any ideas are appreciated, thanks!!

I was planning on suggesting a bar meetup if the party isn't dead yet. 😊

After party with your close friends! Go to a club. You gave your honeymoon to be with your honey. At a club everyone could pay for themselves if you do it much later After the wedding. Just saw you would like to hang out and continue dancing later on in the evening. Just a suggestion

Def do a meet-up somewhere local after dinner. It's really nice to hang with your friends & family in a casual environment because you are so so busy during your wedding (talking to family, dancing, etc etc) and it goes SOOOOOO fast. Plus, if you stay out a little later with friends and family, you have the Sunday to relax before you leave for your honeymoon. I honestly think you'll appreciate having that little bit of extra time with your family and friends.

You’ll appreciate it in the long run especially if you have guest from out of town so they are able to spend more time with you both prior to leaving . We’re doing a farewell brunch. But we’re an established OLDER couple lol.

This is our situation also!! Our reception is full meal, dessert, open bar and late night snack. We were talking about a small after party but our reception ends at 1030pm so we are on the fence about having a casual bar meet up later or not. I think we will wait until that day to see how everyone is feeling after a long day, but we will make it clear that drinks, etc are not on us that evening.

We're having a brunch wedding and will be done at 1:30pm. We decided to have an after party/party bus that evening for the younger crowd. My wedding is in Vegas, so I wanted to make sure the whole day was one big party.

This is ours. We are done at 11, but i know us and our friends and family and more than likely we will end up somewhere else casual having more drinks, but I don't plan to pay for others.

Hey girl!
My advice, look at the hotel you are staying at, their bar. You can be partying until your done, and then dip out and go straight to your room. And your guests can feel free to hang out until they please. And you can feel more comfortable since you don't have to travel any where.
If a bar feel is more what your looking for... Have guests pay for themselves, or call ahead and ask the bar if they will do an open bar. No private room, just at the bar. The times I've done it, its typically $30 a person, guests can pay for themselves, and then its all you can drink for 3-4 hours. And have your guests take care of their drinks, no hassle for you. Hope I helped a little bit. Good luck!
