I need help figuring out our schedule day of!
We are doing the ceremony outside in one place just family (bc self-uniting, and fiance wants that part smaller. 10-15 people?) and then the reception ~hour away (time super depends on traffic) the same day (indoor/outdoor venue). I was thinking to have a little setup after the ceremony, just coffee/donuts or something. The reception is also casual vibes, lawn games encouraged, like a family/friends BBQ but better food and music. Everything is DIY so it's 100% up to us when things are.
I don't know what times I should set for everything. Late Oct/NJ for reference as far as the sunset and stuff goes. We get the venue all weekend so no issues with that. I've been asking around some forums and everyone is like, ask your DoC, caterer, or photographer. We don't have a DoC, are DIY cooking, and our photographer is new to weddings and tbh we are only having a handful of pics. Very very casual, we just aren't sure how much time to put in between things. Some people won't come to both events too (friends are only invited to the reception, and we have no idea which family would go to both, probably depends on time? I really don't know.). I've been looking online but it seems like the schedules I've seen are a lot more involved than anything we are doing or don't reflect 2 venues.
Thank you for your help and please don't spam us with your offers of working for us like I'm getting elsewhere. Would love some feedback from anyone who's done something similar!
