Time of Day
Anyone have any input on what time of day we should set for the ceremony? Originally, I was thinking ceremony at 3:00, Dinner at 5:00. However, my Dad pointed out that many of our relatives may want to come for the ceremony & dinner, but head home before the all-night party wraps up (or perhaps even gets raging). According to TimeAndDate.com, Sunset on 9-8-07 will occur at 7:36 PM (and sadly, there will not be much of a moon). If we had the ceremony at 2:00 and dinner at 4:00 there'd be a little more daylight left for the non-partiers to enjoy with us before heading home, even if they wanted to leave before dark. On the other hand, 4:00 seems kind of early to eat dinner... although a lot of special occasion type feasting tends to happen earlier than regular meal times, so maybe thats OK. Whatcha think? Earlier, later?

Just going off of my wedding I would say that most the people who didn't want to party left about an hour after they ate. That gave them time for a little dancing/picture taking. If your thinking in terms of older relatives they will probly have been there all day helping out and might appreciate leaving earlier. Eating at 4 is no big deal as you pretty much just graze the whole time anyway.
Yeah, the more I think about it, eating at 4 seems like no big deal. I also realized that since it will be a potluck/buffet, it will take a little while for everyone to even get their food, so it's probably a good idea to move the start time up so the people at the back of the line don't starve while they are waiting.
forgive me for being ignorant, but will your ceremony be two hours long, or are you trying to leave enough time inbetween?
I'm trying to leave time in between.... why, don't you want to spend 2 hours sitting on a haybale in the sun while 94 different people read poems or light candles for us?
I've been involved with/organized enough events in my life to know that NOTHING starts on time or takes just the amount of time it says on the agenda. Ever.
