I've noticed open bars are much more important in the US than in the UK. In the US it means have around one drink an hour, in the UK an open bar means take as much as you can get! So in the UK we have drinks packages from the venue (eg. One at cocktail hour, 2 for dinner, one for toasts) and then the guests pay for their drinks during the party part of the reception.

Jamie Wolfer Sort of. In the UK you have the main wedding breakfast and then a buffet is usually expected in the evening. Would you say that in the US the food at cocktail hour is more important than party-time food?

German weddings usually have a few games in between. I organized a lottery for my brother in laws wedding that had everyone laughing. You could buy the tickets ( all proceeds for the happy couple) and could win "awesome " prizes. They are all pun based,so not all translate to English. Some of the prizes that do translate were a analog notebook ( college block with a pen ) ,a candlelight dinner ( can of soup and a candle) you get the idea we used it to fill the gap between the main meal and dessert

I find it interesting that you say cash bar is a no-no. In the UK, a cash bar is very common and it work's very well. I haven't yet been to a British wedding with an open bar. Usually, there is free wine and champagne but the guests have to pay for any more drinking (British people drink a lot!). I'm originally Nigerian and my Fiance is British. In Nigeria, you can't let your guests pay for drinks during your wedding whereas in England it is very much the norm. We have decided to meet half way on it.

Last few weddings we've gone to did not have alcohol other than the wedding party toast. Event program, one per table if there is something tricky such as service inside, outside for cocktails, inside again for the reception. The last one all guests toasted with a sparkly. Everyone still had a good time and no drama or dui concerns. I drove 13 hours to attend the last one, held at a chic barn in a very small town. This is all good information.

I was at a destination wedding where they planned an outdoor wedding and reception. As the reception was about to start, it started raining. Since we were at an all-inclusive resort, a bunch of us basically just ducked into the closest restaurant and started chatting over (free since the resort was all-inclusive) alcoholic drinks until they were able to get the reception set up at a conference room inside. It was actually a nice way to get to know some people. Didn't ruin the experience at all. Also, I'm surprised to hear that people care about the DJ. Unless the only music was rap the entire night, I wouldn't notice the difference.

My (ex) wife and I had an outdoor wedding on December 6, in Canmore, Alberta, Canada. We got pretty lucky that the weather wasn't terrible. It had very light snow falling. But Canadians are a hardy bunch as well, that know how to come prepared for cold weather. We also had a large bonfire burning near the front to keep people warm, and everyone was served hot chocolate or tea on the way out to the ceremony. It worked amazing. But I could DEFINITELY see where it wouldn't work. Thankfully, if the weather didn't cooperate, we had a venue that would serve as our ceremony place as well.

⭐Connections / Receiving line alternative: Receiving Lines for guests can take a long time, and create some anxious energies. An alternative is for you and your sweetheart to usher people out and you get to have a little connection with each person before sending them ahead to the reception where hors d'oeuvres are waiting to satisfy their rumbling tummies. We did it with a sanctuary of about 150 guests. We were surprised that it took about 10mins to file everyone out. Plus they got to snack on yummy food while photos were being done

I live in Scotland and have never been to a wedding without a cash bar. Personally I would rather pay for my drinks and get what I like rather than having only beer and wine as an option which I don't like and would probably leave early. Its super common here to have a cash bar. Also the grooms father typically buys the first round. However at my wedding a cash bar will be present at night but up until after the meal we will have alcohol that we have supplied and juice so guests can have some drinks for free.

I respect everyone’s decision on how they want their wedding day to be. This video however pretty much sums up why I chose to get married on a cruise with family only. I just feel like having a traditional wedding is for everyone but the bride and groom. The guests have such high expectations and the couple spends all of their time and money trying to meet those expectations. Many of those people aren’t even close the couple. I don’t feel the need to have a crowd of acknowledgement in order to feel excited and content with my marriage. I can’t wait to celebrate our love for one another on a vacation with those we love most!

Great video!! I watched the other one as well about what the guests don’t care about. Very helpful!! I am actually a newly wed and my best friend and my brother in law met at our wedding and now THEY are getting married!! What a love story to be had!! I’m still enamored at the thought. Anyway. So, the one thing that I couldn’t and wouldn’t do without (and having just went through our wedding recently, I definitely know what I would and wouldn’t do...like an outdoor barn wedding in early September in the Midwest. We were dying from heat stroke but our photographer was a gem, the photos don’t give it away at all.) What I want to ask, my BBF said that she is going to just have someone else “be in charge of music,” but I definitely agree with you that I would NOT do without a DJ and our DJ was A-MAZING. He came to the rehearsal and even put together a bunch of Christian songs even though he wasn’t at all familiar with them before and it was so perfect! AND my dad couldn’t make it to rehearsal so he acted as the “stand in” for my dad which was just so awesome!! My question (finally) How do I tell her that I would spend the money on the DJ? He was only $600 too. And I’m telling you. He was BOMB! I almost want to ask her if I can pay for him just so she can have it taken care of........ Let me know what you think!!

Jamie Wolfer for one I would have worn more sensible shoes or brought flats to change into, I forgot how much more the wedding party has to be on their feet compared to a guest. I also would have made more of an effort to get to know who I’d be spending the day with beforehand. I was the grooms sis and didn’t know his fiancé’s friends so it was kind of intense to come from out of town and jump in with her closest friends with no prior contact. I’d also put more effort into self care surrounding that day. For someone with social anxiety being a bridesmaid is taxing. I’d eat more too. I’d also have taken more time to show appreciation to the bride and groom for including me.

I can say that when I went to a recent wedding, I felt it wasn't very well coordinated. There wasn't a seating arrangement and it ended up that some people weren't seated where they should have been, there was nobody keeping the guests entertained between the end of the wedding and the beginning of the reception, so it was somewhat awkward. The bride and groom had maybe ten minutes in their seats before they were up and doing photo after photo after photo after photo with guests and groups of guests, not always with their professional photographers, either. It was a lovely wedding, but the reception definitely seemed very chaotic.

It was also customary we go to each table take a photo with everyone and have a drink before moving on.

My first wedding was a late ceremony because the church had a mass we had to work around. At the reception, my guests started lining up for our send off when the band took a break. When the band came back the ballroom, it was empty and I had paid for another 45 minute set. Make sure the average age of your guest list matches ceremony/reception time. Younger guests will party later, older guests will not want to drive home late.

In the UK a cash bar is more or less the norm. It's because British people (and yes I'm British) drink A LOT at weddings. It's not unusual for a normal 'average' larger/beer drinker to consume 10-15 pints or bottles throughout the duration of the reception and evening party. A welcome drink, payed for by the bride and groom, is also usually served on arrival at the reception venue which is usual champagne, if your going fancy, or bucks fizz - a combination of fresh orange juice and sparkling white wine. Wine is also provided for the tables during the meals at about half to one bottle per person or a soft drink. A further glass is also served after the meal for the toasts which is usual champagne or more commonly Prosecco or sparkling white wine. These are almost always expected by guests. It's also seen as rude to not provided water (in summer only lol) and tea and coffee for after your reception meal. Also most British weddings seem to last longer than American weddings (from what I have gathered from KZbin.) The latest wedding ceremony I've attended was at 2 pm. Most start at between 11:30 and 1 and go on until after midnight depending on your venue and thus guests get fed twice or even three times; once at the reception which is usually a three course silver service meal or a served buffet (although some people are bunking this trend now and going for different things such as pizza, fish and chips, curry, street food or giant hog roasts) this is then followed in the early evening by a more relaxed buffet, pizza or BBQ in the summer. 'Package' weddings are quite common, although i'm not too keen, where the bride and groom pay one set price for the whole event. You tell then your colour scheme and just turn up on the day and everything is sorted for you. DJ, food, table wine, decorations, staff etc. but although there tend to be cheaper there are conveyor belt and every wedding is near enough identical. Dry hire and outdoor receptions are becoming increasingly popular as couples are wanting to put their own 'stamp' on thing. However, as the UK wedding industry has started to notice this the dry hire venues and hire companies are starting to charge more and 'package' wedding venues prices are starting to come down.

Also, my best friend asked me the other day what being a maid of honor actually entails, what her duties might be, etc. I'm sure she would be super relieved for a vid on that! Again, thank you so much!

I found a local dj who had great reviews! And for a steal compared to djs coming from the bigger cities, i asked my out if state dj friends what they normally charge as comparison. And checked my states local wedding facebook pages to see what other couples paid. Will be much better that dj spotify 😁

I cosign this message I went to a wedding were they took photis for 2 hours. No appetizers and no alcohol. By the time the DJ started to play, only the wedding party was left.

I always worry about how I am doing my wedding. Most of my guests are religious and non alcoholic but I also have a few friends and family who do drink. The FH and I decided to do a dry reception. We're keeping the reception short but giving plenty of time for dinner and planning on having games, prizes, photobooth, cake, etc. We're not very traditional on these things. But.. because we are doing the dry reception we also decided to host an after party with the guests who do drink at our home( not a big list btw). Most of them were happy with that and preferred not to get intoxicated in front of the religious family. All in all this made me feel less stressed. My guest list is all family and friends I'm close to and they respect my decisions. Even most of them told me they didnt care if the reception was dry. They're there to celebrate us and arent going for the booze. 😭 (I had gotten so caught up in all those blogs where other brides bash dry receptions, it got to me)

It's great to know that my SO and I are trying to hit these spots! The wedding is in Florida and we're having it on the Tampa Bay (on the water without being on the beach) at the very tale end of October. We're hoping by that time that's it's cooled down to a mid to upper 70's so that it's not too hot. We've also changed our chicken plated dinner to the best buffet option our venue has. This means that during cocktail hour there will be a cheese spread, fruit spread, raw seafood spread, and 5 different apps being walked around. Then for dinner, there will be caesar salad and pasta salad, truffle mashed potatoes and an herb rice pilot, bread rolls, seasoned veggies side, and the main entrees will be Chicken Piccata, sliced Steak, and dill salmon for those wanted something a bit more seafood. We'll have a toast where ever tables gets chocolate covered strawberries and then the wedding cake at the end. We upgraded our room to the more spacious room so that people have more dancing space, and we're paying for a 5 hour open bar with premium alcohol options. We managed to make this happen by, first, having really good jobs that allows us the ability to afford it. But I'm also cutting back on things that don't matter: Less flowers, more simple table decorations, cheaper invitations, cheaper hotel room, small candy wedding favors, etc. When I go to a wedding I want good music, awesome food that I can keep eating through the, and tons of alcohol.

So glad to see you've hit 1000! 💕 I think the culture in the U.K. about the bar is different, it's unusual here to have an open bar, a lot of the time it's a cash only bar, as in; get cash out at a cash point beforehand and leave your visa at home! It's so interesting to see those little differences across the pond! 👰

One of my bffs had had his wedding the other week and it started so LATE everything was thrown off. His fiancé’s mother and assorted family that was supposed to things in the ceremony came in almost 3 hours late. The guests were supposed to show up at about 12 the ceremony was supposed to start at 1 but things didn’t start until 2:30 🙄. There was no music to keep up at least entertained and we could see them in the back of the church setting up. It was a beautiful ceremony but cmon now with the time. The only good thing was the food was already warm and ready when we got to the reception 🤷🏿‍♀️
