In my opinion, I think it would be nice to at least have some little desserts or snacks and juice/pop/milk with your guests before the bar hopping. That way, you can celebrate with all of your guests and then do the fun bar thing with the guests who want to bar hop with you :)
Kingytobe makes a very good point. Your older relatives are likely going to feel kind of cheated if they don't get to greet you and spend a little time with you. Maybe you should consider a cake and punch reception for just a couple hours before you go bar hopping.
I agree with pp. Of course it depends on what you and your guests enjoy. I know a lot of my family wouldn't really care for a bar-hopping night and I see them as an important aspect of the celebration. Also, drunk groom or drunk bride is much more appropriate for the Bachelor(ette) party that the wedding. I would probably do something like a bar-hopping engagement party, and then have a more easy-for-all-ages wedding celebration.
well i the reason why we thought about this is because my dad is a caregiver to his friend which i hardly ever see him, my mom works 6 days a week at a swap meet and shes usually drained and my fiances family all live in the oc. I feel that after the ceremony they would all just leave..
@sweetlikcake: Im sure they will all make an exception on your wedding day. Dont assume people will just wanna leave, if $$ is your concern, then doing a bbq back home is always a good idea. But leaving after a ceremony will be TOO short.
@Ugoob: we were thinking about doing the backyard thing but no one in our family has a big enough back yard to do a reception. One of my friends offered us her backyard but she lives in Corona and his family live in OC and my family live in SD/LA...
Why not separate the two events?
I would elope (or go to JOP) have a great honeymoon or romantic wedding night with just the two of you and then invite all your friends out to your favorite bar to celebrate a few weeks later.
I think people tend to expect that if you invite them to the ceremony, that there's going to be SOME kind of celebration afterwards, even if it's only cake and punch. A bar-hopping excursion immediately after (presumably during which the guests would be paying for their own drinks) kind of calls attention to the fact of what you are not providing and paying for.
