Ceremony vs Reception- Food/Etiquette HELP!!!!!!

Okay, so I've been making my guest list, and decided to invite the "closer" people to the ceremony and the reception following. I was planning on just having the dinner for those people, and then after the dinner was over, the other guests that I invite to just the reception would start to show up. Is this completely rude?? Or is this normal?? The only thing I'm concerned about is enough seating and money for everyone if I invited them all to a dinner.

[QUOTE]This is considered a tiered reception and it is very rude.  Please plan a wedding that you can afford to host all guests properly. This "tiered" idea does not go over well on this board.  Be ready for fun responses to your question.

Haha, I've realized. I didn't think that just asking a simple question would get so many people going.

[QUOTE]First of all, yes it's completely rude. Second of all, this question does not require so much punctuation.

Sorry for the punctuation. If it was such a bother, you didn't have to respond.
