Unless the majority of your guestlist is elderly folks who go to bed early, most people will tend to leave at 10:30pm. The idea of leaving early to travel home doesn't make sense to me because if you are from out of the area and you are attending in the first place, most folks have more than likely made arrangements for the following day off. That is assuming that the following Monday is not a holiday. There is ample time to arrange that in the timeframe when invitations and even save the dates are sent out. If someone does have to travel a fair distance to get home, they either won't attend at all or they will call in sick/late the next day because they won't be travelling during the night and then be up at the crack of dawn to go to work the next day, as the lack of sleep will drastically affect their job performance.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/when-do-you-expect-guests-to-start-leaving-for-a-sunday-night-reception#post-495292 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:49:23 +0000 fiftyfootbride 495292@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'd say earlier than 9. Depends on the crowd, though.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/when-do-you-expect-guests-to-start-leaving-for-a-sunday-night-reception#post-495269 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:42:46 +0000 july112010 495269@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>My brothers wedding was on a sunday, and they had to make their exit around 9:00. Guests started leaving, and they didnt want everyone to leave before they did. My wedding is also on a sunday, im hoping people stay a little longer. I dont really care to make a grand exit though I want to stay until the party is over !We have the venue til 12.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/when-do-you-expect-guests-to-start-leaving-for-a-sunday-night-reception#post-495223 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:31:02 +0000 Chipmunk 495223@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I think about 9:00-9:30pm this way by the time they get home it's still early and they have time to maybe sit home, put the tv on etc. before heading off to bed</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/when-do-you-expect-guests-to-start-leaving-for-a-sunday-night-reception#post-495210 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:27:58 +0000 TingTing 495210@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>my reception will start at 5:30pm and will have to end the night at 10:30pm.</p> <p>my question is that, since it'll be a sunday night reception and people will have to work the next morning, will they actually stay till 10:30? if not, what time do guests usually start leaving for a sunday night?</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/sticky-handed-guests#post-495207 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:27:09 +0000 rabbit 495207@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I admit I took piece home from a wedding once! I was at a good friends wedding when I noticed the cleaning staff (who were literally taking plates out from people's hands to dump them in the trash!!) were trowing away EVERYTHING. The centerpieces, candles, food, candy, dessert items, the glasses (some with drinks still in the process of being drunk!), etc. The only things they didn't throw away were the rented table clothes, but they took them off the tables hours and hours before the night was over! Ruined the wedding look totally! Anyhow...I rescued a centerpiece and some candles as well as a fe favor boxes (mmm...candy!). I actually offered them to my friend, the bride, as keepsakes since everything else was in the trash, but she didn't want them. Told me to throw them away! Yikes! I took them home, ate the candy, and used the candle and centerpiece (non-floral) as home decor.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>However, in any other situation involving a wedding, I'd not take anything other then the favor home. especially if I wasn't explicitly told to do so!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/sticky-handed-guests#post-495045 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:34:23 +0000 SugarSweetPink 495045@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>At my&nbsp;FSIL's reception the dj ever made an announcement to take them so they were begging people on the way out to take the centerpieces!&nbsp; Buuut nobody wanted them lol.&nbsp; It was a HUGE wedding&nbsp;so there were literally about 30 centerpieces and the venue wouldn't throw them away for them.&nbsp;</p> <p>That was over a year ago, and I think they're all in my FMIL's basement.. I should tell her to post them to sell.&nbsp; Anyone looking for a trillion hurricane vases? lol</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/cake-toppers-2#post-494523 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:03:19 +0000 snake 494523@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>try&nbsp; <a href="http://www.thatsmytopper.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thatsmytopper.com/</a> they have a HUGE selection!!!</p>
