DEAR ABBY: My daughter is being married at a resort hotel where the bridal party and spouses, several relatives and friends will be spending the night. This resort has an upscale restaurant on site.
My husband and I are spending a lot on this wedding already. Must we also host a morning-after wedding brunch for everyone staying at the hotel and for other guests who have flown in from out of town (who may be staying at other hotels in the area)? Please advise! -- BRUNCH FOR A BUNCH
DEAR B.F.A.B.: There are no formal rules regarding post-wedding brunches. Usually they are hosted by the bride's or groom's family or friends. However, if paying for the brunch would strain your budget, consider inviting your guests to a "no host" brunch at a restaurant that's less expensive than the one at the hotel.
