How long after nikaah can waleemah be done?

Q: Can we perform walima on the fifth day after nikah? We are doing 2 brothers walima on a single day because of financial issues... Is it permissible in Islam or not?

A: The waleemah could be done until the third day.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
