I know this topic can go one way or the other depending on your opinion so I just want to get some feedback.
My FI and I are getting married August 2018. My FI stated to me last night that he thinks we should have a private ceremony at the courthouse with just our parents, siblings, grandparents, and his last living uncle. This all comes out to exactly 20 people, I am on board with this and we would take them out to a nice restaurant as our reception. The thing is he wants to have a party the next day with the rest of our families, aunts cousins godmothers ect. This sounds okay to me but I'm not sure if it's rude or not since it would literally be the next day. I don't want it to come off gift grabby or anything so I would call it a celebration of marriage. I would host it as a party and have good catering and drinks. Would you feel slighted if you were invited to this? I'm at a standstill and he thinks it should be fine, but he also comes from a family where cash bars are totally cool. I would love everyone's thoughts and inputs please!
