after wedding ceremony

jusumsuen

I haven't been to many weddings, so I'm wondering do ppl usually provide lunch or snacks after the ceremony if the ceremony ends around noon?

ic...there won't be any "pickup the bride", so I guess I should leave the tea ceremony after the ceremony. hehe

I and most of my friends did that before. But I've heard some does the bride's side before and groom's side after, just because of timing issues.

As tea ceremony is more for the parents, u better ask them.

oh I also wanna ask, do ppl usually do the Tea ceremony after the ceremony or before the ceremony? or it doesn't matter?
I wanna do it after the ceremony.

Really depends on the timing of the ceremony. For mine, we had food at both parents' house when doing the tea ceremony. After my church ceremony, it was 4pm already, so nothing provided as my friends had to go straight to the restaurant to set up the signing table, follow up the decor with the decoartion with the decorator, move some floral arrangement from church to restaurant plus putting the favours at the tables

I meant lunch/cocktail for all the guest after ceremony, and yes, all my guest will attend the dinner banquet at Chinese restaurant afterward. But...after reading all the comments, I think lunch/cocktail for all the guest is not necessary.  I'll just have lunch with my immediate family and the wedding party then.

Well ... for my case ..  after wedding .. ( ~ 2pm )  take some picture at church etc ..  ( already 3 ) then go to park/river to take some picture ..  then go home to find what cloth to wear .. ( yeah ..  I picked whatever that day .. LOL ) then go to Hotel with friends/parents .. have some rest ..  chat and drink with my buddies ..  iron my shirt and pants ..  then around 7PM .. I show up in the lobby and find my wife ..  ( damn ..  cocktail / app already finished .. )

So .. that 5 hour "GAP"  just so whatever you want .. hanging around .. nothing special .. ^_^
