I'm actually trying to save some $ on this part, so we're going to have a "drop-in" welcome reception in our suite at the resort....maybe just cold appetizers (but I'd like to do hot tacos) and lots of beer and margaritas. I'm a little nervous about how it will go.
Sorry, I know this doesn't really answer your question.
From what I've read, lots of people have done their welcome receptions/dinners off of the resort grounds. My only concern in doing this was transportation.....seems like it would be a pain...but, some bride's don't provide the transportation.
We briefly considered doing a booze cruise, as a welcome, but then decided against it....
okay, sorry started to ramble a bit.....
