Separate Reception Date

Ok ... So after putting off our wedding for a 2nd time,  for everyone else.  I have decided on an intimate ceremony with only 25-30 people. Which will consist of close family & select friends in April 2012. However, I have decided that since it might still be raining or not so plesant out side to hold off on the reception until August 2012. It would actually just reverse the date we got married. (Clever huh?) but is it wrong to want a FULL RECEPTION/PARTY, to include food, drinks, dancing, DJ, Garter Toss, Bouquet Toss, Father Daughter Dance, First Dance, and Cake Cutting, even if its not DIRECTLY after the wedding. Alot of our friends are ok with it, however, some family not so much. but since the ceremony date was a sunday & a Holiday, I wanted some of the friends we hang out with on occassions to celebrate with us at the reception at a later date. Is this a Wedding NO NO?! or is it more modern now .... Thoughts?
