The conclusion of an evening wedding reception is obvious.  The crowd thins, the bar closes, the final dance is announced.  But what about a daytime reception?  How will guests know when to say their goodbyes?

 

We have a few suggestions to end your fête fabulously, adding a flourish to your final goodbye, and clarifying the end of the party for guests.

 

If time is limited (and a daytime venue booking can be a bit shorter than an evening one), skip a plated dessert in favour of circulated sweets or an over-the-top sweet table.  This will encourage guests to spend more time exploring your venue, mingling, and posing for photos while they nibble on something sweet. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Orchestrate a truly grand exit: rent an historic car or sporty convertible and invite guests to wave goodbye as you zip away on your honeymoon.  For a truly vintage touch, change outfits before departing…Mad Men-inspired suits and pillbox hats perhaps?  Once the guests of honour have said their goodbyes, the guests will too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are plenty of ways to encourage guests to take part in your exit; playful bubbles, rose petals, or colourful paper flags can be handed out and used to send the couple off in style.
