Best time for a wedding?

I would recommend still having some time of food like snacks and light refreshments at the least. It sounds like you have a very limited time frame you'd be willing to have your wedding. It sounds like you are going to have to make a choice between having it when it is hot out or when the bugs are out. You would need to give people time to get our church so ideally I would say give them at least an hour, but then that would put you right about meal time. The other option would be to have it later at night, but you have the bug issue and being that it is on a Sunday people are likely to say no to attending because of work. I'm not trying to be mean, but I think I would have thought about all of this before deciding on a venue.

If you are trying to stick to a small budget the biggest thing is you will need to probably not have a large guest list but also any time before dinner time is the best time. Also have your wedding in between a meal time so maybe between breakfast and lunch or between lunch and dinner. I would State on the invitations that it's going to be light Refreshments so that way people don't come on an empty stomach expecting a lot of food. Your cheapest option would be to maybe do a couple of Italian pasta dishes how you can get from an Italian restaurant or maybe do Mexican like rice and beans and then do some party trays from your local grocery store. My friend did a variety of chicken tender, fruit trays, veggie trays and a few other things for her wedding and we were actually very well fed and she had it around dinner time. It is probably costing her about 10 bucks per head and she had food left over.

View Quoted Comment I didn’t even think about that 👍🏼 Your a life saver

View Quoted Comment Unfortunately I think even with an inside venue you are still going to have the timing issue. If you have lot of guests that attend church then the morning isn't going to work. Immediately following church would mean a meal should be served and late at night would mean guests are unlikely going to be able to come because of work the next day.

View Quoted Comment We were considering doing a small wedding so I did a ton of research when I just saw how much things can really be hahaha. Best of luck and keep us posted.

View Quoted Comment Can’t please everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️

View Quoted Comment I was just pointing this out because I know I would be upset if certain people couldn't attend, but as long as you are okay with people not being able to attend then that's fine.

View Quoted Comment I know and my fiancé and I have already discussed it and we are in agreeable that if they can’t come then it’s whatever I’m not picky lol I didn’t mean to sound rude I’m sorry

View Quoted Comment I’m just trying my best to try and work around everything before I just say ok well it’s gonna be this time and this will be provided as food if you can’t come oh well we will catch up later
