The day after the wedding

We'll likely do family only at our house for some food (likely pizza) and gift opening. Nothing formal, not before 12 pm, and not very long.

We have a lot of OOTG,in fact our entire families are OOT. The wedding is Sunday July 2nd, and most people are staying in town until July 4th. We're hosting family and the wedding party at our home the day after the wedding. The party will start at 2 pm, which gives everyone time to sleep in and freshen up. It's traditional in Poland (where my fiance was born) to host a day-after gathering.

It's an opportunity for everyone to see our home and just relax and spend quality time together. We got an estimate from a local Italian place to cater food and it is only going to cost about $1,000 to provide beer, wine and food to ~100 people. Yes....we have huge families and a big wedding party. Since pretty much everyone is traveling we really wanted to thank them and also spend quality time with them.

Yes, our house is big enough (4,000 sqft) and we are renting tables and chairs

We know some folks will need to travel home and won't be able to make it, and aren't taking it personally. ETA: $1K and 100 ppl is the upper limit....hopefully it'll be closer to 70 ppl and $700 or so.

My family does a brunch the day after where we eat leftover food and the newly married couple opens their gifts...also a great place to invite out of Towners. Unless you have someone that volunteers to host this is something you would host. My mom offered up to host at her house

We are getting married on a Sunday with the hopes that no one has any expectations of any "day after brunches" or any such nonsense.

We are staying in a B&B the night of, then we will head back to our apartment on Monday afternoon. We don't leave for our honeymoon until a few weeks after the wedding, but we do have a couple of days off immediately after the wedding to be married

We are having a brunch and then calling it a day, I know everyone will be exhausted by the time Sunday rolls around

Father's day is the next day so we are having a part with my dads family

Having alot of OOTG as well, plan to spend Sunday with them at my parents house and have a chill bbq, simple not to expensive

In the case of a DW am I expected to host breakfast/brunch?

I really didn't budget for that

We had a farewell brunch, which was great because it gave us time to spend with our guests one last time before everyone leaves. The wedding day is so hectic that you don't really get a chance to say much more than hi and thanks for coming to everyone. At the brunch, we could say goodbye to each person individually. We paid, of course. You would have to pay if you invite people.

After the brunch, some guests left. My family stayed and they got to go skiing (we got married in the mountains) while we went back to the suite and took a nap. Afterwards, we all went to dinner together and had a nice night.

Our wedding is on a Sunday, so I'm not sure there will be anything the day after. We'll probably say goodbye to family, but I'm not sure if it'll be more on an individual basis or a hosted breakfast. I know we'll be leaving for the honeymoon pretty immediately (or that's the plan anyway), but this is a detail I haven't really given much thought to lol. I'm hoping for some relaxation after all that stress that's for sure!

We are getting married on a Saturday. Our reception ends at 7:30 so we are going to a local 4th of July fireworks show with friends and family afterwards. Getting up at 8 am the next morning to drive 8 hours to our honeymoon.

Probably having a brunch and hitting the beach before our honeymoon in Hawaii! We're getting married the Friday of Labor Day weekend and aren't leaving for our honeymoon until Tuesday. So we have a couple of days to relax

We are getting married on a Saturday and leave for our honeymoon Monday. We plan on staying in the hotel block with guests Saturday night. Our venue is a friend's property so we will definitely be heading back to make sure everything we need to clean up is done and head home to pack for our honeymoon.

We had breakfast/brunch with out of town guests at the hotel. We then went home to finish packing for the honeymoon since we were leaving that day. Luckily we had some extra time as my wedding band broke because of a manufacturer defect and we were at the jeweler most of the afternoon before the flight.

Thanks so much everyone! i think we might try to do something casual later in the day. so we'll have the best of both worlds--relax in the morning, spend time with guests in the afternoon.

We're flying out on our honeymoon the day after. But... we have a lunch time wedding so it'll be much easier!
