We are having a destination wedding and are inviting 150 people. Everyone is of course invited to the ceremony and reception at the resort, but there are more people not coming than are...which we completely understand (we are getting married in May on my grandparents anniversary, so I can see why people might not be able to get off work/kids are still in school). Many family members from both sides have requested we to throw a "reception" when we get back and have our WP and everyone dress up again. I have asked the WP if they would care if we did this a week or so after the actual wedding and they think it's a great idea. I was planning on inviting the same exact people that we invited to the ceremony, so there's no issue of, "I wasn't invited to the wedding and was invited to the reception." What do you guys think and have you ever heard of this? Like literally, we were thinking do a whole dancing and food reception and when we send out invites, make sure both dates were on them (wedding and additional reception). BTW, we are having a dinner and dance after the ceremony, but since there's only going to be about 50 people there, it will not be as big! Thanks for the NICE, OPEN MINDED answers! Ohh and the groom's mom wants us to even play the wedding DVD for those who couldn't make it!
