The wedding day may have passed but everyone can use one last chance to bond, that is by having a post-wedding brunch. This function gives newlyweds a chance to keep the party going, to have some fun, and most importantly make memories with relatives and friends before they all go home. Here’s how to go about making a wedding brunch as well as beautiful invitations that will help in setting the mood for the day’s activities.
Commonly taken the morning after the wedding, a wedding brunch is another form of the reception but in a more convenient way. It enables guests to have one last engagement with the bride and the groom, reminisce about all the wedding activities, and enjoy a hearty breakfast. Ranging from small family-only gatherings after the wedding to larger whole guest brunches, which every single attendee post-wedding, print can be adjusted to meet your desired leisure orientation.
For destination weddings, this brunch is often necessary since it provides the couple with additional time to bond with the guests, who often come from different regions. It is also a nice gesture of appreciation as it allows the bride and groom to interact with everyone in a more relaxed environment than on the wedding day.
It is important to choose wedding brunch invitations of the right kind to help send off the guests in style. Here are some suggestions to enable you make your invitations unique:
There are no hard and fast rules as to whom you can invite for the wedding brunch. This can be kept simple and invite only a few guests, or everyone who attended the wedding could be included. Here are some groups we usually work with and think of including:
However, hosting a smaller brunch allows you to go deep and actually talk to every person without an agenda. It is a thoughtful way of spending time with one’s family before the couple goes on a honeymoon after all the activities or even before the wedding celebrations come to an end.
To maintain order, it is advisable that you propose your wedding brunch invitation to your guest at least a couple of weeks before the event. This gives such guests time to get their coordinates right and plan their movements, more so if they are coming from a distance. It is also easy to manage the time schedules of the guests by sending out short notices of changes of plans after most of the sentiments have been collected in the case of the digital service because they can be attached with reminders or updates.
Online wedding brunch invitations will surely be the best of them all. They are easy to use and very flexible. Services such as Paperless Post allows you to design it, monitor the sending of lets, otherwise known as guest list, to various people if you had digital invites for other wedding functions and all those people in the guests list are centralized.
As an extra measure, you could allow the invite to be sent to parents or reliable friends and they will be named as co-hosts. They will take care of the RSVP’s and the other plan’s final touches, allowing you to sit back and take it easy.
It is not possible to throw an unforgettable brunch simply because you invite the right kind of people. The menu also does quite a good job. Try to include light snacks and some desserts as well, as people have different preferences. A few of them include:
Whether it is an informal standing brekky with food placed on a buffet table or a three-course style where each course is served individually, it is always important to ensure that there are dietary options for all the guests who will attend the function to create a sense of belonging to them.
It’s the Close of the Wedding Weekend. After the brunch, why not go a step further and appreciate those who have worked to make your big day possible or those who simply came to celebrate with you by sending them personalized thank you cards? Even sending a simple wedding announcement or thank you card to the guests who were unable to attend will still keep the post-wedding fun lingering.
The post-wedding brunch is special because you get to celebrate with your family and friends all over again after the wedding festivities and say bye to them. Thanks to elegant invitations, an enjoyable guest list, and wonderful brunch offerings, you will proudly conclude the happiest occasion in your life accompanied by the nearest and dearest to you.
Sending out the invitations about 3-4 weeks before the event is the best period. This allows your invited guests ample time to prepare, especially for those who will be traveling.
It's all up to you and how you want to hold the brunch! It can be informal or rather formal, it all depends on how you want things to be. But do keep in mind that it is a mellow event where people are expected to relax and mingle with other people.
You are not required to extend an invitation to all the guests present. However, most couples tend to take a different approach, with fewer guests invited for brunch, usually just family and friends or those who lent a hand in the wedding making.
It is very uncommon to include the gifts information with the invitation; however, registration for gifts can be included informally, that is, when people are asked to confirm their attendance or thereafter in appreciation letters.
Ensure that you cater to other people’s preferences when designing the meal by asking whether there are any such diet combinations during their responses to the invitations. Providing additional options tends to work in most cases.
A theme is not needed but also planning can be simpler and more enjoyable with a theme. Ideas for decor or food and even invitations may all be based on the theme and go together.
In case your parents wish to host planning out the brunch, you may give in and let them do the planning themselves. You can however still help in choosing the invitations and the menu and leave them to do the logistics and RSVPs.
