I was wondering the general consensus on this:
We are planning on getting married at a Catholic church, but the only times they have available are 11, 2 and 8:30. I''d rather not have it at 11 and 8:30 is out of the question, but how do you work a dinner with a 2 pm wedding? If you did it, how?
It is an out-of-town wedding (we are in between the 2 towns - about 2-3 hours drives for both parties v. 6 hour drives for one group) so I feel like a dinner is required to make it worth their time to drive down. Otherwise we would just do cake and punch. My fiancee suggested just having hors d''oeuvres but I''m not sure about that either. The only other thing I can think of is to have an early (really early!) dinner at about 4. Is asking people to wait until 5 rude? The reception will be in town also.
Thanks!
