Basically we are getting married at church and staying at a hotel that is separate to the reception venue.
how would you go about this? we would like people to check in prior to coming to the reception as we won't get back to the hotel until 1 am - who wants to start checking in how ever many people then.
we had an idea to arrange for a coach to pick people up from the hotel (so that everyone has their cars for the next day) and then take them to the reception.
Have you had anything similar/doing something similar? how are you going about it? and how did you word it in your invites? im worried about losing lots of time inbetween the church and the venue. hence the idea to get the coach to ensure everyone doesn't pop to the bar for a quick one when they've got a load of free booze waiting for them at the reception.
sorry for the ramble
thanks in advance xxx
