Question: Our wedding is at 2 pm but our reception is at 6:30 pm. We have quite a few out of town guests.

Answer:
Sometimes, the times between the ceremony and the reception can be a bit long. It is best to line up a couple of alternative activities for your guests while you are taking pictures, getting your reception site ready, etc.

Since many of your guests are from out of town, how about introducing them to your city? You could have city maps printed up with interesting places to visit circled. You could even arrange for transportation to show them “the sites.”

You could also check on current happenings in your city: afternoon theater performances, museum exhibits, an afternoon ball game, theme park passes; all places that will certainly entertain your guests before your reception.
