"After the show its the after party. After the party its the hotel lobby. And round about 4 you gotta clear the lobby, then take it to your room...."
Aside from being the song that is credited with inspiring more Instant Messenger away messages on my college campus than any other ("Sippin' on coke and rum, it's like so what I'm drunk"...anybody?), this song, Ignition (remix), has got the right idea.
After our Big Show, there really will be an after-party! The decision to incorporate this additional celebration was really not a decision at all. We just knew it's something we would be doing. What can I say? We know how to party! Our reception ends at 11pm, which is pretty early by our standards, and we have plenty of options on how to keep the celebration going.
Our first option is to head to the first floor of our venue (a hotel) and into the on-site sports bar. The hotel has graciously stated they will keep the bar open until 1am to accommodate our after-party, and we have the option of purchasing $10 appetizers or a few pizzas to serve to our guests, you know, to absorb some of the libations people have been consuming. After that, guests will be on their own to go sleep it off, or host a gathering in their hotel room for the remainder of theevening early morning.
Our other option is to rent a trolley to transport our hard partyin' guests to a Boston landmark - Faneuil Hall - which boasts an insanely large number of watering-holes within a really small area. As opposed to our other option, this one requires more money on our part. We would need to rent the transportation and most likely, pay money to reserve an area of a bar for us to hang out in since it's a Saturday night - and one of the first weekend nights that all of the college kids in Boston will be back after summer break.
The downside is that it will cost us more money, and we probably won't be able to serve food to our guests. The upside is that the bars are open until 2am so we can totally maximize the night!
For us, as much as we love each other and will be super excited to be married, we'll have a lifetime of time to spend with each other. So why not spend the rest of our wedding night with the ones we love the most instead of hiding out in our hotel room? We may be exhausted, heck, I'm sure we will be, but I plan to suck every damn minute of time out of our wedding weekend! Adding on an after-party just adds to the fun! Plus, we'll have plenty of time to relax on our honeymoon!
Are you having an after-party? Why or why not? If so, what are you planning for after the reception?
