Wedding Breakfast

The wedding breakfast is most often hosted by a friend or neighbor of the bride,  in honor of all those who have come from out-of-town for the occasion.  This wedding breakfast is a wonderful way to occupy and entertain guests who may feel in need of a warm welcome.

Neither the bride, nor her groom and families are expected to attend the wedding breakfast, although it is certainly proper, if they chose to do so.  The menu may be as simple as quiche, coffee and juice or as extravagant as a full scale breakfast buffet.  Whatever is served is secondary to the feeling of being part of the festivities.

The wedding breakfast is a good time to give a run down of scheduled events which surround the day.  Proper arrival time at the church for photographs, transportation arrangements, childcare concerns and any number of other questions can be answered at this time, leaving no room for misunderstandings later.
