Okay, so we're having a small restaurant reception the day after our wedding (reception date is 12.11.10). I'm looking at some tentative timelines now.

9:00 AM = Get up! (Oh god, that's so early.)

10:30 AM = Have hair and makeup done

12:30 PM = Show up at Grandma's house to get dressed

1:00 PM = Guests arrive at Gran's for a meeting of the families; mingling, pictures, etc. for about two hours

Now, this is where it gets sticky...

2:45 PM = FH and I will depart from Gran's to check in at our hotel (check-in is 3:00, non-negotiable time)

3:30 PM (ideally) = FH and I arrive at the restaurant for the reception. Now, we'll let everyone know that our reservation is for 3:30--we forgot to mention that on the invites, but we can just spread the word at the family meeting, right?

3:30 PM - 5:00 or so = Late lunch/early dinner at restaurant

After that: optional after-party at a local bowling alley--yay!

Does that sound reasonable? Should I be allotting more time for hair and makeup or anything? It won't take me more than half an hour to get dressed because I have a short dress and no veil. Should we perhaps leave earlier to check into our hotel? It's about a 15 minute drive from Gran's house, so I'm thinking we'll be right on time...

Does anyone know roughly how long hotel check-ins take?

sounds good as long as you know how long it takes to get to and from your destinations. and seriously they cant work with you on the time for check-in??? thats insane - if its a chain, not a boutique or inn, they can definately work with you. call and talk to a manager.

but sounds good :)

and p.s. i think i am getting the feeling you are either a math person or love patterns... Dec 10/10, 11/11/11, 12/11/10 :)

@spaganya: The only other option was to check in later, I think, but that would interfere with the rest of our celebration. Check-out isn't until 12:00, and it's a big hotel so I guess it takes that long to clean? I might have FH talk to a manager, though I'm not sure when we'd check in, then.

Also, we met on 08.08.08...just keeping the pattern going! Both of us hate math, and patterns make me crazy, haha.
