Wedding destination..How to exit 'pre-drinks/get together' without sounding rude? - how to word thank you on ceremony programs

My wedding is 11 months .. This is what we have planned (but with the coordinator of the marriage soon speaks) ..

The target is expected to lead a weekend .. The goal is 2-3 hours by plane ..

Marriage is a Saturday night around 5ish .. @

But I think, act a roundtable discussion before the ceremony .. I think riding a camel have (the place because it is known) for customers .. .. but not dinner, so I do not know how polite word in the course or the program .. "I had to eat before, with his closest family ..
So, how to leave the "Get Together" and go show up for dinner without being rude ..
There are approx. 36 people (family included)

And is the "meeting" before the wedding a good idea? I fear that if guests can meet before the ceremony to "talk dried up in the wedding ..
Thanks
