Time of ceremony, invite silly question

Emma1988

for, you me and prob everyone else... when its says 2pm start on the invite youd arrive 1.30.... but should i put arrive 1.30 for 2pm start... just dont want people rolling up at 2, when im meant to be walking down the aisle then!!!
what do u think? or do you think if you put for our wedding at 2pm, people will realise this means it starts then???

am i making any sense? prob not

I would assume that people would realise that a 2pm start means be there for 1.30ish... but now youve said it its got me wondering to! sorry thats not much help lol

I've said almost the same, but put it as 'The ceremony starts at 3.30pm, but parking may be difficult so please arrive early'

I just put the time of 1.25pm, its only immediate family though as we are getting married abroad and they know me well enough to know they better arrive on time lol. I am one of those annoying people who turns up early for everything

don't worry, if I received the above I would assume it started at 2pm, so would be there in plenty of time!

We are only having 12 guests and I have put 11.30am as that is the time we are getting wed. I assumed people would know to come early. Me and OH only have to be there 10 minutes before, the guests 5 minutes. Now I am a little worried lol.

lulubelle im early for everything too
binkyboo, i think im going to your idea... just say we get married for 2pm, but please arrive 10mintutes before to get seated etc

Thanks you guys! Your all stars, sorry if ive made people worry now

We're laying on a coach to the ceremony so my guests will be there early whether they want to be or not:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I always turn up early for weddings as I expect them to start at the time listed on the invite so I would be pretty !!!!ed off if I got there at 1pm for what I thought was your 1:30 wedding only to find out it was really a 2pm wedding. Fuming in fact.
People know how weddings work, at least in my world. I have read about and seen on wedding shows where people are super late, I don't get it though.
