Dialogue: The After Party

Just this past weekend my husband and I went to a beach bar with some friends to hang out and what do I see? Why a bride in her wedding dress and her bridesmaids in their dresses of course! I also saw who I think was the mom, and of course the guys still dressed up as well. I thought to myself, "Oh, that's cool, she just got married! How sweet!" But then when I really got to thinking about it I wondered if I would have gone to a bar after my reception to party some more and if I would have gone in my gown. (My reception lasted until midnight anyway so no after party there! lol)

Anyway, it got me thinking if a lot of people do after parties. I even worked a wedding once where they had a small after party at the pool at their venue. I don't mind an after party, but going to a bar with drunkards everywhere in my gown, well, that wouldn't happen. I would have switched into a party dress. Then again, like I said before, I didn't really need an after party after my reception! Not to mention how exhausting a wedding day is.

So tell me, are you planning to have an after party? Are you going to a bar or are you hosting it at your venue or at someone's home? Are you having a late one or an early one since maybe your wedding was a daytime one? Are you switching to a party dress?

Or, is your reception a party enough? Do you prefer to just be with your groom? Would you want to have one even though you don't plan to?
