New Wedding Date & Videographer

We were planning on getting married on September 1, 2012 and we were inviting 210 people. We are now getting married on April 28, 2012. We are having a very small intimate ceremony and reception. We are only having our parents, siblings, grandparents, my two neices, and his nephew. I could not be any more excited about this change. I am so much more relaxed and am so happy. Plus, our countdown went from over 300 days to under 200 days. :)

My parents are considering throwing us a very casual reception in their backyard a few weeks after our wedding. We aren't inviting any of our aunts and uncles to the actual wedding (if we did invite other family members our guest list would be approximately 100 people... I have a large family) and some of them have asked my parents if we are doing a seperate reception. Opinions on this second reception?

Also, are any of you hiring a videographer or know of a good videographer? My photographer is getting me some information on different videographers he knows but I wanted to see if any of you have had any good or bad experiences. We were not originally planning on hiring a videographer but would like to now so we can show our families our ceremony and wedding since they will not be attending.

    Why the change? (I'm just curious for no reason at all...well, I'm nosey :)

    Love the fact that you're doing a small intimate affair and that you're happy and stress-free! That's what getting married should be I think. I do think that the 'open house' idea or 2nd reception is an awesome way to celebrate with everyone and also let;s your parents 'do' something.

    Haha. It's okay. :) I am a very nosey person as well.

    I don't know if you want to know why I changed the date or why I changed the whole wedding idea. So... I will cover both.

    We chose to change the whole wedding idea because I realized that a big wedding isn't really for me. I am very close with my immediate family but not with my aunts and uncles and cousins. So I wanted to have a wedding with just my immediate family present. I was getting stressed out about planning the big wedding and couldn't decide on anything. It almost turned me into a different person. My FI and I were fighting over stupid wedding stuff that he didn't care about (My mom and I have been planning everything... My mom and I are planning the smaller intimate wedding as well). He also always wanted the smaller wedding.

    We moved the wedding date up as well. We were going to get married in January. My brother and his wife live in Washington. His brohter and his wife live in Florida. His brother was coming home in January so we were going to get married when he was home because they have a new born baby. My brother was willing to fly in from Washington as well. We were worried about it possibly snowing and our grandparents not being able to drive to our wedding. So we moved it to April. :):) 

    Sorry for the long reply!
