Goodbye Brunch?

I would say it depends on how late your wedding ends. If it's too late, I wouldn't do a day-after activity.

Our hotel offers breakfast the next morning. my plan is to hand the free vouchers to the bridal party and we'll pay for whoever actually uses them.

I think it's a great idea. I was really sorry I had so little time (and most of it was spent dancing!) with all my favorite people-- I would have loved a chance to sit down with them all again the next day!

We're thinking about offering brunch on Sunday if we can get a reasonable price from the hotel or venue. I always enjoy getting to talk to people in a more casual environment the morning after a wedding.

Thanks ladies! As of now, the reception is scheduled to end at 10. I think we would meet for brunch around 11. Mosts of our guests will be staying with family so, the hotel option won't work for us. Thanks again!

I think it sounds like a good idea. I'm probably doing something similar. My mom's side of the family is coming from out of town and will probably want to stop by to see my grandparents more and visit with my mom more then they were able to at the wedding. So my mom is planning a similar next day brunch for us.

That's a good idea. What if you did an informal meet up at a restaurant?

Brunch is a great idea. Our hotel also has free breakfast in the morning and since most of our guests are staying there on the night of the wedding, we're having them all come down for breakfast/chat/mingling before everyone departs.

if youre not staying at a hotel, i think having someone cook (or even if you and FH want to do it) that would also be a nice idea.

@Riki that's the direction I'm going. Our favorite breakfast restaurant has a private room we can use free of charge.

I think it will be so nice to see and mingle with everyone in a more casual setting. Especially since we will both have extended family members who haven't met him or me prior to the ceremony.

I think it's a nice idea, but it's not something you need to do. My one friend had a destination wedding at a fancy hotel and had this really nice brunch the next morning for everyone that stayed over. We stayed overnight at the hotel after our wedding but didn't plan anything formal. We saw a few people down at the hotel's breakfast the next day, but most of my family chose to go to Cracker Barrel lol (They were excited cause they have none of LI, where they are from. Went 2 days in a row!! haha)

That's what we're doing! I don't get to see my sister much, who lives 800 miles away, so we're having a family brunch the day after and then we're leaving for the honeymoon after.

I'm having one! It's a nice relaxing way to say goodbye to everyone and make sure they hit the road with full stomaches. We will be serving alcohol as well

We actually just decided on doing this too! Since most of our guests are from out of town we thought it'd be a nice farewell. Everyone we mentioned it to seemed to be on board. We just had to make sure to tell everyone early enough so they can make sure to plan their travel plans accordingly.

We're planning something similar. We don't want to "host" it but we want those who want to join us for some more time together and another meal to feel free and drop by. We haven't worked out the details. We want to be able to spend as much time as possible with our friends and family (especially those that are travelling to share our special day with us).

@Stephanie and @Mrs.Pichon It seems like such a nice, relaxing way to say goodbye. Much better than at the very end of a super long, probably kind of stressful day.
