well maybe normal time jsut say on ur invition eat at your house and go to the wedding and sya dinner wont be serve there soemthing like that just eat before you go
its okay to get married somewhere else its just Traditional to have it in a Church
sometime around 6 or what about 1-1:30pm right after most people would have just eaten a meal?
We made our own invitations, but we made them on our own just using Microsoft Word. We bought blank invitations at staples.
Being of the christian faith, we did not get married at a church. My husband and I got married at his Grandparents property and everyone viewed this as ok- my fantastic uncle was the preacher that married us.
with your thoughts and skill at writing i would say definitly write your onvotations and have the wedding at 10.00 at night that way everyobe will have eaten and have 1/2 a buzz on. oh yeah don’t forget to cut the grass and turn on the bug zappers before sundown. at least that’s what i would do also to save a small more money hand deliver the invitations at church or work.
Two at the afternoon, they will have already ate lunch, and by the time it is all over, you can call it excellent at six.
Shutterfly is a excellent place, or any local store that maybe has scrap booking things, you could have a small gathering with our girlfriends and decorate the cards. And mail them out a soon as possible, anyone who you want to be at your wedding, really should be there. So they will know ahead of time.
It’s fine to get married somewhere else, just have a Christian Priest.
congrats girlfriend.
Sounds to me like you should just elope.
Maybe have it at 1pm, so people will have eaten before, and it’ll still be too early for dinner.
www.mygatsby.com is a excellent place to start to make invitations.
mail them out at least 6 weeks before, longer if you’re going to have a lot of people from out of town.
As long as you have a certificate and minister, you can get married anywhere you want pretty much.
You write: was thinking get married at 6 and then have reseption at 7 ? or would that not work ?
No. Better to marry at 2 pm with reception at 3 pm.
Six or seven pm would be the dinner hour for many. You would need to serve a complete meal following a 6 pm wedding.
For invitation wordings, see here:

For the location of a Christian ceremony, I would advise you to discuss that option with your clergy person. He or she can advise you on that. Many clergy members may be pleased to officiate at a non-church location . . . such as outdoors, in a hotel ballroom, in an art museum, etc. Catholic priests cannot. A Catholic priest will want the ceremony to be at the church.
you have to serve something…get a family member to place on the diner, or just elope and have a party after, in the evening, but you will still need to place out a nice spread. If you are Christian then you can go to a chapel and pick out a Christian service, If you get married at 6 am you will be expected to serve breakfast, and at 6 pm you will have to serve diner. That is why peopel give pressents…I suggest you elope.
get married whenever and wherever.
i would say to say the invitations about a month ahead
Then you need to either have everything t done before 11am, or you need to have everything between 2 and 4. Seven is MUCH MUCH too late not to serve dinner, and a n hour is too long to expect guest to wait unless you are having a cocktail hour before dinner in that time. I consider soda (not necessarily a ton of varieties), coffee, tea, milk, and water to be basic beverages that should be available. Just cake is OK but it isn’t that hard to get a couple of other things too. WIthout a real meal it would be a shorter reception since you can;t cut into meal times. If you don’t want to serve a meal it is OK but it MUST be done at an appropriate time and you can’t expect to be able to cut out he expensive part and still have a huge late fancy party.
It depends on what kind of Christian you are, it isn’t just one huge religion. If you don’t even know that then I don’t reckon a church wedding would mean all that much to you. Catholics must be married in the church if they want it to be recognized by the church unless you find a really liberal priest. With different types of Protestants, it may depend on the group or even the particular minister.
You can have a non religous ceremony with a justice of the peace, or some minsters/ reverends or whatever may be willing to come to your non-church wedding and still have a religious service. But liek I said, very few Catholic preisens would do it outside of the church.
Invitations go out 6-8 weeks before the wedding. If you are having out of town guests then you should either do a save the date or just call them and give them a heads up to make arrangements. If you are having it on a holiday weekend then you should also send out save the dates, which go out 4 to 6 months before the wedding.
Either have it earlier in the day and just have a small receiving line with perhaps a cake or dessert plate and drinks, or have it much later in the day with a cocktail/appetizer reception after most people will have already eaten dinner, like at 7 pm.
Six or seven at night is too close to dinner time to not serve a meal.
Anytime between 1 and 5 would be better if you want to avoid a full meal.
I would suggest starting no earlier than 7 for the ceremony. Most people consider their dinnertime to be between 5 and 7pm so by starting during that timeframe people are going to expect a meal.
I also suggest you place it right into the invitation:
7pm at ____(ceremony location) ____
Hors d’ourves Reception at 8pm at ___(location)___
So by including that it is an hors d’ourve reception, people will clearly know that a meal will not be served.
If you are a christian, you can have a religious service without getting married in a church. It really comes down to the vows. Many Christian pastors will marry you outside the church, it is usually the Catholic or Orthodox denominations that won’t marry you outside of a church. You could also look into a non-denominational officiant so you aren’t choosing a particular church.
I would be embarrassed to have people come to my wedding, and not feed them. And, you probably wont get as excellent gifts. When you serve dinner, they know it costs you money, and they take that into consideration when they choose how much money theyre gonna place in your card.
Hello and CONGRATULATIONS, I’m only 15 but I have been to loads of weddings, this is what I reckon;
I reckon weddings are best at lunchtime and then you do a hot sit -down lunch and then have the reception in the evening with a buffet.
I wouldn’t have the wedding at 6 because if you have family coming from faraway for the day then they will have to travel home very late from the reception and if any children are coming parents might not want to stay out to late due to certain routine. I reckon the best times to get married (the start of the service) are between 11:00 and 2:00 and receptions are excellent between (the start of the party) 6:00 and 9:00.
I would send the invitations out about 7 months – 3 months before so you can sort out things for the right numbers e.g. food and seating.
I am a christian and I would personally get married in a church but I suppose it doesn’t matter where you get married because marriage is a christian thing anyway. I believe God is with you where ever, so whether you get married in a church or a cardboard box doesn’t matter as long as the vowels etc are done by a person with the proper qualifications.
Excellent Luck
=D
