We are doing a brunch thing for the immediate family and guests staying at the hotel that night. I think we will be so tired by the end of the brunch I am going to want to get home and relax with my new hubby and take it all in! Maybe watch some law and order...who knows? lol
We are having our wedding in Atlanta so ours will be a brunch/lunch probably in a hotel, restaurant, etc but I think a BBQ sounds great! I would love to do something like that! I think the day after can be anything you want it to be, it doesn't have to be formal and it's usually for family/bridal party and/or close friends, so more intimate.
Love the idea!
The day after BBQ sounds delicious and an awesome plan to unwind with friends and family.
I think a day after BBQ is awesome. That is what we had at my parents. It was nice to unwind from it all and our guests enjoyed it.
Yes, sort of!
We are having a very small wedding- 15 people. After the ceremony, we are all going out to dinner- probably similar to what people do for a rehearsal dinner (we aren't having one of those). I really didn't want a huge affair, i see my wedding as being very personal. Also, can't afford a big blowout. So, after we are married, we are throwing a bbq for all of our friends- probably a week or two after, so that we dont' get overwhelmed.
Yes, and not just BBQ. I guess that in Russia(where my FI's family is from) they have weddings for like 3 days or something. FMIL has even said that whoever wants to come over and eat and drink the next day is more than welcome. So i guess it will be like 2 receptions....
We are doing a morning after brunch. A lot of our guests are from OOT and I didn't think that many would be able to stick around until lunch time. I figured brunch was cheaper and easier and more people could attend. It will be nice to get a chance to thank everyone personally again and say goodbye before we all leave.
Awesome!!! Yeah I'm trying to think of some ways to make the BBQ nice. Decor....music....etc. Will you girls wear white?
we are getting married in ohio but we live in misssissippi (my family is all in ohio) so we are having a bbq open house thing down here for a our friends who couldnt make it sorta like a second reception.
but the day after up there we are having a little party thing because its going to be new years the next day (dec 31) so we are having a dinner thing.
i think I'm wearing shorts and a "just married" t-shirt. Maybe a "Just Married- Life is Good". The Life is Good shirts are made in the town next to mine.
I'm probably going to rent some sort of tarp thing so people can get out of the sun for a bit- but otherwise, ours is going to be uber-casual. Just a We're married, come celebrate with us" sort of a thing. Music for sure, will be playing ,and I'm hoping my chorus (I sing in a show chorus) will sing a little ,too.
Since the day after my wedding is Memorial Day, my parents are hosting a BBQ in their backyard. I think about 30 people are invited (same people as the rehearsal dinner) and we're going to grill out and maybe FI and I will open some presents.
We didn't figure anyone wanted to do an indoor brunch at a restaurant or the hotel on Memorial Day. I've always sort of hated those, anyway. The BBQ seems less "ME ME ME", if that makes sense. Like, people celebrated me all last night, do they REALLY want to come to a stuffy brunch and watch me open presents while they're all hung over and just want to go home?
I ended up wearing something white-ish but I didn't really think about it. It was a cute and comfy white summer dress with multi color flowers. I was all about comfort at that time but then again that is who my family is.
I bought an off-white dress I'm considering wearing. It depends on the weather though. It's Wisconsin - it could be 50, or it could be 80.
We are having a BBQ the day before. Since all of our guests are from out of town we are inviting everyone to a BBQ instead of having a rehearsal dinner.
The wedding I'm in this summer is kind of having a day-after BBQ. The wedding is on a Friday near the beach, so the Bride & Groom have rented out a beach house for 12 of their friends and we'll all be staying there night of the wedding and the next night, so we'll be all hanging out the Saturday after the wedding. Not sure we'll be doing a BBQ, but we'll be doing something!
We are indeed doing a day after BBQ but it'll be potluck, bring what you want to grill and drink kind of thing. We felt that a lot of people were coming in from out of town to spend time with us and since it's Labor day weekend why not do it up.
my FMIL mentioned having a bbq at their house the day after since they have some family coming in from out of town for our wedding, including her daughter and fiance. so they don't expect us to come but we will go im sure. we will probably be staying at a hotel near the airport that night since we have an 8:30am flight out of JFk airport for the honeymoon, and who's gonna wanna drive us that early?! i think it would be nice to just unwind and talk about the night before with everyone.
i would dress super casual and comfy. no white i dont think, the one night is enough!
Yes, we're having a post-wedding BBQ. My parents will be hosting (his parents are hosting the rehearsal). We plan on unwinding, hanging out, openning our wedding gifts, and having some good grub. We're either doing tri-tip or burgers/dogs, salad, and chili. Our's will be pretty low key... just jeans, tees, no big decorations unless my mom does it. It's time to unwind!
I think that would be really fun! If I wasn't going on my honeymoon then that would be something fun to do. Especially since half our guest list is out of state.
We are delaying out honeymoon by a day in order to have a day-after BBQ. My girls and my parents are hosting it AT our house and it will be invite only with people who are here from out of town or are very close friends of ours. We are doing a kid-free wedding, so this will be the day with little ones running around. I'm going to have a drink, relax a little, and we leave the next morning (Sunday) for Puerto Vallarta for a week.
Ahhhhh heaven.
I'd like to have a big bbq the day after, but I'm not sure if we'll be up to it. Our wedding is over at midnight on Saturday and we'll probably leave for our honeymoon on Monday...might want to rest on Sunday...hmmmm...what to do?? lol...
Yep! Our wedding is on a Friday evening so lots of our out of state family plan on staying through the Sunday. So we're organizing a day after BBQ to begin sometime in the early evening. The issue we're having right now is WHERE to have it. Our place is too small to accomodate both families and our bridal party. Both of our parents have offered to host it but they both live an hour away from where everyone will be staying meaning we'd have to arrange transportation for everyone. Parks here don't allow alcohol. And fiance doesn't want to have it at the hotel. Soooo... we're kind of stressing over our desired BBQ. I have a feeling we'll be having it at our home but will be hiring a cleaning person to come in the next day. 
I love the idea. Everyone warns that the wedding day/evening will fly by and we won't even remember talking to some of the people. I love knowing that we'll have a 2nd chance the night after to relax with our family and friends whom we don't get to see often... relax and have a chance to sip on the drinks we most likely won't get to at our wedding.
We are!!! Then again the day after our wedding is 4th of July so it just seemed natural
Yep! We're having a picnic/lunch/pool party thing the following day. Casual but it'll be fun to hang out with people especially since I have a feeling the wedding night will be hectic.
Yup! My aunt is being kind enough to offer up her house to host a day-after BBQ. Since we are getting married over Memorial Day weekend, we figured it would fit. Most of our out of town guests are heading out the day after the wedding, so it will likely just be my local family plus FIs immediate family that are not heading straight home. Very low key--hot dogs, hamburgers, salads, etc. Nothing wedding related, unless we have leftovers from the candy bar!
We had a bbq the day after too so I think it's a good idea! his family hosted it, our wedding ended up being on a friday so everyone was ready for labor day celebrations! In reality, at first I didn't really want to go because I really wanted to "spend some time" 
with my new husband, especially since we weren't going on our honeymoon right away...but after we got there I enjoyed myself...
We are planning a bbq, but not for the day after. We're getting married Labor Day weekend. The wedding is on a Saturday night and we'll have the bbq on that Monday. We have alot of family coming in from overseas as well as throughout the US so we thought it would be fun. Also, my fiance's dad's bday is about a week later so we'll also be doing a pre-birthday celebration during the bbq as well since he won't get to be with his dad for his actual bday.
Before and After Parties!
We're not having a rehearsal dinner, but are inviting all of the OOT guests to a campfire night at our cabin the night before the wedding for s'mores. We're providing sparklers and glow necklaces for fun and will be distributing our OOT totebags then.
The day after the wedding we're inviting all guests to our cabin for burgers and dogs. We're on a lake, so folks can swim, enjoy the sun, play horseshoes or frisbee or just hang out and do some more catching up.
A lot of our guests will be OOT, so we're hoping that it is more of a wedding weekend, than just a day. =D
We arent having a day after BBQ, but we are having what I like to call a "Friends and Family Social" it will be pretty much be food, drinks, and everyone meeting and greeting before the wedding.
