My fiance and I have planned to get married with about 23 guests. It includes our immediate family members and our closest friends on the beach at a gorgeous but expensive site in CT. We are having a small dinner after our ceremony and then leaving the following day for our honeymoon and coming home to have a party at our house about 2 weeks later. We want to plan the party with a tropical/beach theme but need some ideas with food and decorations. I also want to make save the dates for the big party where all of our other family members and other friends will be invited to but I don't know what to call it. It would be like our reception but I can't call it that seeing as these members won't be involved in the ceremony. Does anyone have ideas or thoughts that could help us. We wanted the huge celebration but we didn't want to spend 75-125 dollars a person to be apart of it, we figured this is the next best thing. Let me know what you think!
