It used to be that the parents of the bride and groom stayed
at the reception until the last guest left.
They thanked guests for coming, gathered up gifts brought to the
celebration and loaded them in cars for the trip home.
Now it is likely that the bride and groom themselves will
stay until the last guest has left. The
reception would have been a great party and no one- including the honored
couple- wanted it to end.
The party mood would be hard to shake and since they will have the
entire honeymoon to be alone/together, more and more couples are choosing to
spend time afterthe reception with close family and friends relaxing and
replaying some of wonderful events of the day.
Couples staying at reception venue may host an after party
in their suite or they may have arranged a small room at the site to gather for
conversation and nibbles and a replay of some the best events of the day. After the organized events, it would be fun
to get caught up on what happened or what was said about the wedding that the
couple did not see or hear during the ceremony or reception.
This would be a great time to see the candid shots that
people took on their phones. It would be
fun to get a peek at how the bride and party looked coming down the aisle.
Coffee, tea, soft drinks and a light snack would be in order
before the party disperses and the couple thanks those whose presence and help
meant so much.
