Maybe that's what they're doing. We didn't put it on the invite but on our wedding website. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-invitation-question-door-open-time#post-1915462 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 09:04:37 +0000 wonderstruck 1915462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It just means don't get there before 2. I have relatives who will show up super early to events unless you specifically tell them not to get there before X time, I'm guessing they're in the same situation. There's always that one aunt who shows up hours early and then gets in everyone's way as they are trying to set everything up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-invitation-question-door-open-time#post-1915446 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 08:45:22 +0000 Corduroy 1915446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: that is weird and so rude. I guess this couple might be facing the same thing. </p> <p>We'll aim for 2:30 so we get there by 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-invitation-question-door-open-time#post-1915444 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 08:41:06 +0000 babycanuck 1915444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: We had a few people arrive late for ours...but we had some not so nice extended family show up a couple of hours early to judge what we had done (they're that kind of people.). Weird, I know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-invitation-question-door-open-time#post-1915442 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 08:39:45 +0000 Corduroy 1915442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: It's at a cultural center so I guess that could be serving lunch or have another program going on prior to that. </p> <p>I've never seen a problem with people arriving too early to a wedding though. I'm always running later than I planned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-invitation-question-door-open-time#post-1915441 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 08:37:19 +0000 babycanuck 1915441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is the wedding at a church? Maybe there's someone getting married in the same place before them so there's time in between to set up so people don't walk in early?</p> <p>I would say go anytime between 2-3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wedding-invitation-question-door-open-time#post-1915436 Sat, 25 Oct 2014 08:35:06 +0000 Corduroy 1915436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH &amp; I just received a wedding invitation that says:</p> <p>Doors open at 2pm<br /> Ceremony at 3pm<br /> Reception to follow</p> <p>I've never seen a door open time before. Are we supposed to arrive by 3 or closer to 2? </p>
