The Morning After the Wedding - The Hungry Bride

After the ceremony has taken place, the dance floor has been pulled up and the leftover food packed away, what's left? Many couples, especially if they are having a destination wedding, are offering a brunch or lunch for their guests the following day. I know, it's another check to write, but it's a nice gesture to those who have traveled a distance to share in your special day.

Whether it's a very casual picnic or a fancy brunch held at a hotel, a little goes a long way. Plus, it's a great time to thank your friends and family one last time for coming, and of course you'll get hear all of those crazy stories that happened while you weren't paying attention! Remember not to schedule it too early, especially if you've had an extremely late-night affair.

Jon's parents will be hosting a small, very casual brunch located in the hotel where we'll be staying. We figured there was nothing better than rolling out of bed to a free breakfast. While we carefully planned out every aspect of the wedding menu, simple and very common brunch fare will be served here: eggs, bacon, croissants, cereal, etc.

Are you hosting a day-after event for your guests? If so, I want to hear what you are serving, or what you did serve.

There was some hair o' the dog as well.

Bacon, eggs, sausage, potatoes, cured meats, cheeses, fruits, roasted veggies, and crab cakes benedict as the entree. Oh yeah, and plenty of bloody marys and mimosas!
