AIUI that is only after the seuda is over.  If the seuda won't be held
until after mincha, or is still going at least in part during mincha,
then tachanun is not said.  At least, that's how I've seen it done.

IIRC I've been told on good authority a maaseh rav indicating that if
someone was sent food from the seudah, and intends to eat it that day
but hasn't done so yet, and he's present during mincha, tachanun is not
said.  But I may not be recalling this correctly - it's based on
something that I was told happened at my brother's bris, but since I
was quite young at the time I may have misunderstood.
