That's perfectly fine. If you're having a great time, then everyone around you will too.
I don't think that's too boring. I went to a really fun reception once, and it was a "dessert reception". They had cocktails and coffee/tea, as well as cake and a couple of other dessert options. The wedding was earlier in the day, at noon and then the reception was at 7.
I think that you should try to have the reception at an off time so that people aren't going in expecting a full dinner. For example, don't have your wedding at 6 and have the reception at 7 - 7:30 because that is close to dinner time. I would also let people know that it is only a dessert reception on the invites. Other than that, sounds like fun!
I was thinking of having an outside wedding and a reception to follow. If thats the case I was thinking like a 2 p.m. wedding? and the reception to follow because it would be at the same place, outside. Should I just have a reception at another place later that night? Or would that be dragging it out for people?! So many thoughts!
A 2 p.m. wedding with a reception following right after sounds fine. It's good you chose a time that's right after lunch and a long time before dinner, that way your guests won't necessarily expect full meals. You might want to think about a short "intermission" after the ceremony so that the catering staff will have time to rearrange the seats from ceremony-mode to reception-mode, that way the guests can mingle comfortably as they enjoy their cake and refreshments.
Yes, perfectly fine. As long as the wedding and reception is at an off time that people are not expecting a meal. I went to a wedding several years ago and all they served as champagne, punch and wedding cake. People mingled around eating cake, sipping their drinks and it was a lovely afternoon.
Yes. I was trying to get a time in between for that reason. Mostly because we are having people come from different places and I'm not sure what they would do if there was hours in between. The only other thing is that I won't know what to do while we take pictures after the ceremony. I think the "intermission" would be good for that as well, to give us some time. Do you think I should have chairs for everyone or do you think people will end up standing anyway? I've looked at two outside places and the one I like best has a smaller pavilion. I'm not sure if I can fit enough tables to fit everyone under it. If the weathers nice will it matter if there are extra chairs outside the pavilion?
Thank You Both :)

Sorry, there are no users yet.
I want the reception to be short and sweet. I was thinking of only having cake and drinks. I don't want a dance floor. So it would really be a short reception. Is that too boring?
