So, my dream (and booked) reception site only holds 125 for dinner. my step dads family is massive and mostly live about 3hrs away. they would require 200 invites and probably 130 or so would actually attend, obviously not do-able! i'm relativly close to about 50 of them but don't feel like i can exclude the others and especially since we're paying for the wedding on our own really can't afford it!
would it be acceptable to just have a reception type party where they all live? my mom has offered to pay for something like this! :-)
