Is it ok to have a few hours gap between the ceremony and reception?

I have friends and family travelling from overseas for the wedding. Day will start around 9ish with a bride pick up and wedding "gate crash" followed by tea ceremony and actual wedding ceremony around 12.30. Reception won't be until 6pm. Is that too long a break? My mum and rellies would like to refresh prior to reception and change clothes so they don't mind the gap but not sure what others will think...

Need help with seating arrangements

When you do seating arrangements, is table 1 generally the brides family plus the partners of the wedding party? How would you seat the grooms parents if they are both remarried and really don't get along?

Does it matter if you don't have an engagement party?

My partner and I got engaged the weekend before Christmas. We both then spent Christmas with our families in separate states and were individually spoilt and fussed over. Is it overly important to have an engagement party as our family and friends are all over the country. Would rather now dive in with wedding planning and save every penny for our wedding...but feeling like we may be missing an important part of being engaged without an engagement party??!
