What to do on evening of the wedding?

Interested to hear what people say as we are due to marry 24th April in London.
If receptions aren’t allowed we’ve said we’ll book a table and go for dinner/go to a hotel drink and practice making a baby/come home drink and practice baby making.

We got married straight after the first lockdown lifted when receptions weren't permitted, so we just started our honeymoon early!

I think in April, people will just be relieved to have something to celebrate and to be able to see each other again, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Go with whatever is permitted at the time, and if it finishes early, so be it. Everyone will just be thankful you've been able to have your day!

We are planning everything in the day to happen later than usual, so our wedding breakfast will run more like 6pm-8.30pm and take up most of the evening. Afterwards it will be drinks in the bar, cake cutting and sparklers outside. Actually perfect for us as non-party types!

View quoted message That's a great idea. Also love the sound of sparklers outside, sounds magical?

View quoted message Good luck for your wedding. Fingers crossed.


Yes that's a good idea dinner and drinks. I was thinking once back at wedding night accommodation to crack open some champs and maybe have a nice bath and some music... and practice baby making of course??

View quoted message That's a great idea. Yes very true! ❤

We are 18th April (?) in Cornwall, if we can't have a reception we will just spend the evening having fish and chips on the beach

My fiancé and I were literally just discussing the same thing!
But I think everyone will be happy to be there.
I’m sure you’ll have a lovely day xx

View quoted message Love Cornwall ❤ that sounds lush ??

View quoted message Yes true. Thank you?❤ have actually had a little chat with the venue about going back for a big party the following year and those guests who couldn't make it can come too xx

Hey Madeline

Not myself, but one of my friends are going ahead with their ceremony in March and I suggested to them the there are some chefs that are doing delivery meals - it is all cooked and hand delivered to your door.

The one she is using is @cheflouiseellis - She is based in Nottingham and has been on Master Chef. But I am sure there are some in your area!

This should save you from just getting home and sitting in front of the TV! xox
