With friends at the Brazilian Restaurant
The Honeymoon
The Evening Do
Starting at 6.30pm the Evening Do will be taking place at Petrinske Terasy, the same as the afternoon Reception so you won't have to move.There will be a buffet, dancefloor and hopefully lots of fun and excitement.
We have put up a free bar for wine, and soft drinks. However the free booze is limited unfortunately - so once it's gone - it's gone and from that point onwards you will have to pay for your own drinks. The manager has just informed us that their credit card machine is not working at the moment and that there are no cash machines anywhere in the park.So please make sure you have enough cash on you. Drinks should only cost about half of what they would in the UK.
The party will finish at 1am at which point you may want to carry on. There are a couple of nice bars in Mala Strana that stay open late. Just roll yourselves down the hill, head over to the left and you should go far wrong:
St Nicholas Cafe & JJ Murphy's are net to each other. Directions HERE
Over the road is another bar called U Maleho Glena that's very nice too.
If you want to go clubbing then I'm afraid you're on your own there. We've no idea about night clubs in Prague! Too old now.

How to get to the ceremony on time
Our original plan was to lay on a bus that would drive around Prague city centre picking you all up from your various hotels and apartments. As it happens it turns out that this is too much of a logistical problem so we've abandoned the idea unfortunately for you. Soz

Ben's last (planned) night of Bachelorhood (friday 2 May)
It's probably not a wise idea to go out the night before you get married especially if you're the groom. Actually it's hard to imagine that a bride would be so foolish. The mind boggles at the infinite number of bad things that could happen to the poor boy on the eve of his nuptials. Ideally the altar-bound groom would be in bed by 9pm curled up with a mug of cocoa and pondering his future life of wedded bliss before getting a good night's sleep so that when he wakes up on the wedding morning he's fresh and full of life, ready to co-star in the biggest day of his life.

CONFIRMATION OF ACCEPTANCE
With there being quite a lot of you, the task of keeping track of who's actually coming and who isn't, along with details of when you're arriving and leaving, where you're staying etc. has got a little out of hand. So we would be most grateful if all of you could take the time to..
SEND CONFIRMATION
...as soon as possible
Thanks

The Morning After the Night Before ... change of plan!
Originally we were going to suggest going for Sunday Brunch but we just found out that our hotel does 'Breakfast in Bed'.....
...instead we're now planning a meal at our favourite Brazilian restaurant (Brasilero) just off the old-town square.
According to Damian, Clive has booked somewhere for breakfast

Some Useful Czech Phrases
One of the very few advantages of Prague being absolutely crammed full of tourists is that you're more likely to hear english being spoken that czech. However the Czechs are always very impressed when you make any attempt whatsoever to speak their crazy language. I've been in classes for three hours a week for eight months now and let me tell you, it's hard! Nevertheless, its worth learning a few phrases so you can at least raise a smile on the face of the the pleasantly-surprised waiter or waitress when you attempt to place your order in the local lingo.
