    WOW I am surprised with the positive responses

    I was really worried it would be an issue.

    Once you have kids 10pm is late anyway
    So 10.30pm might be perfect as a finish time especially for those with babysitters....didn't think of that.

    Yeah I would definitly let everyone know on the invites of the end time for other arrangments, like babysitters or transport to another place.


    I plan to do the bride and groom go early too, so I guess that would be about 10pm

    Mine also finished at 10.30 and was a Sunday wedding.

    Our guests appreciated the fact that it was early so they didn't feel bad about leaving early as even for those that had to travel they were still home at a decent hour.

    FWIW - you don't need to specify an end time on the invites the way the evening pans out things just happen to end. We did our "leaving thing" at 10.20pm but the cab was late so we sat and hid in a special room all our guests were gone by 10.50 and the venue was fine with that.

    I had a Saturday wedding and I left at 10-30-11ish on mine. People partied on until the small hours.

    A friend of mine put a finishing time on her invites. We left her wedding before 11pm anyway due to babysitters. But she finished hers earlier at 11.30 because it was winding down anyway by then.

    We also had a sunday wedding and it finished up at 10:30, all of our guests that wanted to party on headed to a bar at the hotel we were staying at. We went down for few drinks, but I was pretty exhausted by then so we didnt hang around.
    We did start our pre- dinner drinks at 5:30, so really by 10:30 it had been a pretty long day.
