We are getting married in Ireland or Italy... haven't found the right package yet. We are planning on inviting everyone we would have invited if we got married at home because most of our friends and family look for excuses to travel, and who knows - they might be able to make it. Can we put our plan to have another party at home for those who can't make it, or does it look tacky to do so? I know that when it comes to destination weddings people tend to think elope or don't do it at all, but that's not how my family rolls.
I'm not looking for two receptions, I just want to know how best to let people know there is no pressure to attend, and that we'd still love to celebrate with them once we get home.
