Wedding Timeline

When I start to feel anxious or doubtful I turn to you guys and you talk me off the ledge. Lol. I'm calling on you all again.


So I talked to my venue and they helped me to pick out the times for the wedding and reception, but now I'm having second thoughts. It's a destination wedding in Vegas. Still trying to decide if we will provide transportation to the event. Mostly waiting to see how many people RSVP. Invitations are printed and ready to be sent out, so can't really make changes to that. Can change it on my wedding website, but I feel most people will look at the physical invite first and the website secondary.

Ceremony starts at 5pm and everyone has to be out of the reception by 9:30pm. Not really thinking, I put on the wedding invites 5pm start time. 😳🙄😟 I should've put 4:30pm to ensure everyone is there and seated on time. I have a few ideas:

1) If we provide transportation to the event, have everyone meet in the lobby of the hotel for transport at 4:15pm. Event location is approx 15-20 mins away.

2) If we don't provide transportation to the event, verbally tell everyone who is definitely coming that the wedding starts at 4:30pm to ensure everyone is there on time. We may have a welcome party the night before so that will be a good time to let everyone know.

3) Just keep it at 5pm and hope 🤞🏼🤞🏼everyone shows up a little early.

I pretty much think I will not want the night to end. So after our ceremony we are going to take our guest and photographer to the Vegas sign to get a few photo ops together and tour the strip listening to music, dancing in the party bus. And then if we are all still feeling up to it, find somewhere in Vegas to dance the night away!!
