  I take that back. after thinking about it, you can wear the White dress for the grand entrance, the first dance, and the cake cutting. and right after, change really quick and do the rest of the stuff in the sari. such as, garter toss, bouquet toss, dances, toasts, etc! what do you think? i think BRILLIIAAANNNNTTT!

  I think you can stick to your original plan and accommodate your FFIL.  Change into the sari at whatever point in the reception you want.  Also wear the sari the next day at your ILs'.
  
  Also, just curious, are your parents fine with doing the stuff at your IILs'?  I was just thinking that since they are probably contributing financially and inviting people, they may want something traditional done that day in front of their friends and extended family.  That's also something that can probably be negotiated.

  Honestly, they don't have a say in it. This is done by the guy's family so they make the rules. I know seems crazy, but it's old tradition and we do things by old tradition.
  Just to give an example: My cousin's wedding her sister was helping adjust her veil and dress well after the vows were said her sister wasn't allowed to touch her anymore and only the grooms family could touch her. See we are super traditional and old fashioned.

  I would wear the sari for the entirety of the reception.  I never got the brides that change outfits in the middle of the reception.  Seems excessive and odd.  Maybe that's just me.  I understand you originally wanted to change to do some traditional ceremony (though I am not familiar with what that tradition -- sounds fun though). 
  
  I personally would hate to have my party interrupted by having to go change.  I'd rather not think about changing outfits mid-reception.  As it is, we have to spend SO much time meeting and greeting and cake cutting and god knows what else.  I hope to squeeze in a little bit of sheer fun at the reception.
  
  Will you have a significant number of people coming to the ceremony?  Maybe you will be satisfied that enough people have seen your white dress?
  
  Basically, do what makes your heart happy.  Don't worry if certain folks don't see your white dress.  Wear and do what's easiest/most fun for you -- that's what I would do.

  Especially in a blended wedding, it's fantastic to be able to change you attire throughout the night.  Don't worry about what others think, do what you feel is best.

  
  

  My suggestion as a planner on the time to change would depend on your timeline for the evening.  If you really want guests to see your white gown up close, you want to wear if for the first half of the reception.  But keep in mind, durning that time, most people are eating and really not paying attention.  It's not until much later in the evening when the party really gets going that guests will get close enough to really see your dress.

  
  

  Depending on how you break down the night and the events, I would suggest doing the cake cutting and sitting through toasts in your gown.  Break up your dances so that your first dance kicks off the dancing for the evening, that way before the first dance, you can change into your sari.  You could also think about doing the daddy daughter dance in your wedding gown and the first dance with your husband in the sari, or vice versa.

  
  

  Whatever you choose to do, make sure you've coordinated your thoughts with your planner.  That way she can help you stay on track for the night, get things ready for you and help the whole process move smoothly, so you don't miss the party!

  
  

  Good Luck
