Filling a gap in the day

AutumnBride85

Ok just doing a bit of brainstorming!

I am looking to fill up a gap of nothingness in the day between the wedding breakfast and the evening do. This is the gap;

5.45- Vacate wedding breakfast at pub and make way over to hall (will only take 10/15 mins to get there)

6.00- We are hoping to have tea and coffee/chinwag at the hall to use up some time- so that's about half hour??

6.30- 7.30- GAP!

7.30- Evening guests arrive, band and party starts. Dont expect things to get swinging till about 8.

We need to have something that's free as we've already gone over budget, and I'm not really into the whole casino, magicians and caricaturist thing anyway.

My ideas so far have been;

1) A Bride Vs Groom game of Twister- but H2B refused. Probably not a good idea to be getting into precarious positions after eating anyway (I'll still have twister and leave it in one of the rooms at the hall for people to play on when they've had a few drinkie winkies )

2) Setting up a photo table- Thinking if I get family albums from our parents so people can have a look (and a good guffaw) at pics of us and family through the years (after Ive taken out the embarrassing baby me bathtime/nappychange ones)

Any other ideas I can snaffle?

Thanks!

A game of Mr & Mrs?

I think you'll fill it fine though, people will be talking to you, mingling, wanting photos. The time fly, you won't be left with nothing to do.

Could you not stay on for drinks before going to the hall?
we will have a gap of an hr to an hr and a half,we have quite a few guests staying over so this will be check in time and gives them time to freshen up/change.and maybe more pics as FIL is photographer so can kind of tell him to stop and start lol or just spend that time chilling and chatting to the day guests as the hotel has a huge lobby with a bar
