Is it rude or tacky to have 2 separate lines on the invites so guests can RSVP for the ceremony and then the reception? Would people RSVP for both and then still only come to the reception?
The church where my FI and I are getting married actually has 2 churches: the Little Church, which is smaller, older church (it's actually a historic landmark) and only used for special occasions and the main church where Saturday and Sunday mass is held, where all the offices are, etc. I would prefer to get married in the Little Church since it's more intimate and I love old, historic things. But, it only holds 130 people and we are inviting 300 people. The main church will hold everyone just fine.
It's going to be a Catholic ceremony (with that dreaded gap =/ ) and my priest said that only half of my guests will actually come to the ceremony. I'm led to believe that it will probably be ok, but I don't want to risk having more people show up than there is room for - as everyone will be invited to both events. Therefore, I would really like to know how many people will actually come to the ceremony so I can determine which church I should use.
If this question has already been asked, please point me to the thread. I tried searching for it, but gave up.
