After Party ~ Countdown … 19
I’m counting down to my next “Creating Your WOW Wedding event and there are now 19 days to go! Every day I’m posting a new tip that may help you plan your wedding and today I’m looking at an “After Party”!
The “After Party” idea is something I’ve been suggesting for about six years, I’m not sure where the idea came from but I think I was one of the first to offer it. It’s particularly useful if yours is going to be a long wedding day, or if your favourite genre of music is … shall we say, not everyones cup of tea. The idea is to end the “formal/traditional” reception at, say, 10:30pm with a “last dance” and the usual big cheer or an archway, then you can pop out and come back for your “after party” where you can let your hair down for an hour or two more with friends and family who want to stay.
With weddings often starting around noon it can be such a long day and not everyone has the stamina to party all night – this gives them a chance to stay to the end and take part in the big party ending and slip away before they collapse of exhaustion. It also means guests with children might stay to the end rather than excusing themselves early.
As I say if you want to party to the music you like but feel it’s not suitable for nana and the little ones, this also gives you a way around that problem.
If you’d like more tips please stay tuned – I’m posting another tip every day right up to 15th November when the event takes place at Ampfield.
PLEASE NOTE ~ This is not a sales event for me,you will be under no pressure to book me, the event is just great advice to help you understand how your wedding day may run and how you can use the principles on “Your WOW Wedding” to make it even better.
