Hi everyone:)
I have tried to search through to see if it is bad etiqutte to invite people to the reception only, however I didn't seem to find my answer. So here is my scenario...
My fiance and I are having a small beach wedding by the Lake in Cleveland. Due to the location we have a limited amount of space and chairs =50. Our problem is that we have a guest list of over 200 people and it isn't that we do not want the people to come to both the ceremony and reception but we simply cannot hold a 200 people ceremony at our location. Does anyone have any suggestions of how we can handle this (without changing the cermeony location because it is already paid for and not really an option for us)? I wasn't sure whether we should just send out invites of both to everyone and have them check yes or no for the ceremony and reception so we get a headcount for the ceremony and pray that a small amount actually come to the ceremony OR if we should just send out ceremony invites to the must have people (very close family and friends).
Please any advice will do.
Thanks
