My FI and myself both want a very small intimate wedding, with perhaps only 6-7 people at it, if that many. So far the only people on the guest list is my mother and her boyfriend, but he hasn't decided if he wants his parents there as well or any friends.
My question is, after we actually make it official and get married, we want to have a reception with more of the family there so we can let them know. What would be the correct way to word this? So far I was thinking "Come join us for the celebration of XX and XX's marriage" or something like that. Since really we are just celebrating the marriage, not actually having them at the ceremony.
