You may have heard about ‘Wed now, party later”- I am sure.
… and you rolled your eyes, I am sure of that too, but let me explain why this is not such a bad idea after all.
It may not be something you have dreamed of doing on your wedding day, but if we’ve learned something in the last year, making things differently is not necessarily a bad thing.
So why not wed now and party later, by planning this eleganza extravaganza reception, whether it’s a cocktail event, seven-course dinner or a three-day wedding affair.
P.S. have a look here at a recent blog post I wrote about how to plan a three-day wedding affair.
Back to our hot topic, here are 5 reasons why this is a good idea to consider:
#1 You get to have your much-awaited, beautiful ceremony with family and very close friends followed by an intimate dinner AND you can plan that awesome reception for your one-year anniversary. With your small guest number, the ceremony can be held almost anywhere (of course, restrictions and permits may be needed but this is a conversation for another time or a quick zoom chat).
#2 You can now have your post-ceremony dinner at your all-time, go-to restaurant because that stunning private room is perfect for your guest number and your favourite Chef can organise a bespoke menu just for you.
#3 You can splurge and elevate your culinary experience when planning your post-ceremony dinner. Have those extravagant flower arrangements on the table and entice your guests with an unforgettable food experience.
#4 This might give you more time to save some extra $$$ for your anniversary lavish party where you will celebrate for 3 days and 3 nights.
#5 Your overseas and interstate friends and family may actually be able to attend your wedding anniversary party.
As much as we have embraced Zoom, it’s not the same.
Remember that if you are planning on having your ceremony in a garden, permits will be needed and some rules must be followed.
