Afters Time for Invite

What time do Afters generally start? Im not sure what time to put on the evening invitations....

Generally from half eight/ninish onwards. It depends on when you hope your meal and speeches will be over at and what time hte bank is starting at. We're going to put 9.

I've invited people from 8. Your venue can advise you, depends on what time you have dinner really.

hi i said 8 pm on the invite in the hope people will show at 9-9.30pm. our band is starting at 9pm
