Second Weddings: Reception

  • The second wedding is always smaller, more intimate and more informal than your first wedding.
  • Traditionally the Groom pays for the wedding, if not decided otherwise.
  • A private garden, restaurant, or smaller venue is perfect for a second wedding.
  • Only nearest friends and family are invited – please remember to keep both parties children involved with special tasks during the wedding.
  • It is the couple’s personal choice of morning, afternoon or evening wedding.
  • The Bride and Groom is the host and hostess of the wedding and greet the guests at the door of the venue – the groom stand in front of the bride and she on his left-hand side.
  • The couple don’t have to sit at their own table, but can sit with all the guests at one long table.
  • If there are too many guests, the couple can sit with nearest family.
  • If there are friends that you couldn’t invite to the wedding – invite them afterwards at your new house for a nice braai of meal.
  • No toasts are necessary – the Groom does all the talking himself. His speech can respect the past and must focus on the future.
