At home party after destination wedding

Alexa, on November 24, 2019 at 7:30 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 2
My FH and I are getting married in MX in April 2020. We planned on having a party upon our return. My FH wants to have it on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and have a Sunday funday theme. I want to do a cocktail party and do it on a Friday 6-9- which sounds nicer? Keep in mind it’s open bar, and we will be serving apps.

    I think either idea is a good plan, but I think Friday may be better. Memorial Day weekend can be very busy, so having it on Sunday may mean people coming late and/or leaving early. Friday evening would generally mean people coming after work and with no other obligations to rush off to. But if you want to have an open house feel and don't mind a lot of coming and going, the Sunday plan would suit better.

    Unless it's much later (like 8 PM or later), I'd serve a full meal or a ton of appetizers. If I went to a party at 6 PM, I'd expect dinner. If you do it on Memorial Day weekend, I'd anticipate a lot of people not being able to go just since it's a popular weekend for vacations.
