    Ok so now I need a little clarification our Invitations say 4pm so it was my understanding that the ceremony starts at 4pm not 30 min later... do I need to leave time for guests to arrive? I would think it would be rude to leave them sitting for 30 min especially because some people I know will be there early at like 330 and then they would be sitting for an hour? am I right?

    Guests will know to come early, they know that the time on the invitation is the time the wedding starts so they will show up 20-45 minutes ahead of time.
