• The first and foremost thing is to decide who would bear the cost for the brunch. There is no formal rule about this, but usually it is paid by bride or groom’s families but it can be hosted by a group of good friends or family members.


• Choosing a Location: If your out-of-town guests are booked in the same hotel, then consider it as the location for the post wedding get together. It would be a convenient place for all those who are involved. The hotel may offer special wedding packages that would save your money. You might get a price break - if you arrange the brunch at the same place where your reception is held night before.


• Deciding the Time: What you serve at the brunch would be fixed by the time it is held. A brunch held earlier in the day would feature mostly breakfast foods, whether it is held closer to the noon hour can include lunch items like salads, sandwiches, meats, fish and cheeses.


• Selecting a Menu: If you are planning your brunch in the morning, then plan to have plenty of coffee, tea and juice on hand. Foods can include Muffins, Bagels, Scones, Pastries, Crepes, Fresh Fruit, Eggs and Breakfast Meat such as Bacon and Ham. Additional menu items are Breakfast Potatoes, French Toast or Waffles with a variety of syrups.


• Invite your Guests: A verbal invitation is appropriate for Post wedding brunch along with your wedding invitation. It would ensure an accurate count of guests. If the brunch is going to be informal include a notation in the invitation so that guests would know what to wear.


• Don’t Be Extravagant: If possible, keep the Post wedding get together simple and reuse the flowers or centerpieces from the wedding. Play the soft music in the background and feel free to use good quality plastic plates and cups instead of china. If your brunch is in a hotel or catered, you won’t have much to do for set-up or clean-up. It would be very convenient when everyone heads out in a different direction afterwards.

Weddings are vibrant and colorful events which serve as the perfect get together for family members and friends.
