Calculating the Days of Sheva Berachot

Question

My son got married, Baruch Hashem, on Tuesday after sunset. Is it necessary to hold Sheva Berachot also on Tuesday?

Answer

Shalom u’verachah 

If the chuppah ended at tzeit hakochavim, it is considered that he got married on Wednesday, and on the following Tuesday it is still possible to hold Sheva Berachot. 

But if the chuppah ended immediately after sunset and there was still time after the chuppah during bein hashmashot, Sheva Berachot should not be held on the following Tuesday.
