After Wedding Breakfast

Something new that many wedding couples are doing is to have a wedding breakfast the day after they get married. Most of the time it doesn't come close to being as elaborate as their reception was, but offers another opportunity to get together with friends and family in a more relaxed setting, and possibly spend a little bit more time with those people than they were able to spend on their wedding day.

There are a few reasons that make this something unique. One, it offers an opportunity for people who couldn't make it to your wedding or reception on that particular day another chance to at least participate in your wedding process. Two, usually the breakfast is a little bit more of an intimate affair, so you wouldn't be expected to invite as many people as you invited to your wedding, which is why you have more time to interact with them. Three, it's a great send off to those friends who traveled from far distances and had to pay to stay somewhere overnight, to say thank you again for coming to share themselves with you on your special day.

Just like reception halls, there are many places in most areas where you could book a breakfast for a lot of people. The thing about breakfast food is that it doesn't cost all that much to prepare, and for most people the meal choices are fairly standard. For instance, eggs don't cost all that much and you can buy multiple dozens of eggs and still end up paying less than $20. Depending on the brand of bread you purchase you can probably buy enough bread so that everyone can have at least a couple pieces of toast. Although the price of ham has gone up drastically, you can usually buy link sausages or sausage patties and get a very good deal. And even if you decide to get a little fancy and have something like pancakes, that doesn't cost a lot to put together either, although if you have a lot of people who want pancakes it could take a lot of time in preparing them and also making sure they stay warm enough so that they still taste pretty good.

Some wedding couples even decide to have their day after wedding breakfast in their homes, which can usually handle 30 to 40 people even if it's a tight fit in a small house. This might not work as well if you have a small apartment, but if you live in apartment complex most of them have a clubhouse of some sort that they may rent out for very little money and possibly even let you have it for free based on the reason you want.
