  I don't think its wrong. That is actually what I wanted (mine is also in October) but it seems like it's slowly becoming bigger and bigger.

  I don't know what the weather is like in Ohio (assuming that's where you are getting married) in October. But if its comfortable weather than go for it, assuming it won't rain or people won't be freezing outside.. Where are you thinking of having it? And as far as how many guests, I think it depends on what you and your FI want IMO. We both have big families as well but due to budget we are only able to invite around 60-80 people. We are paying for the wedding ourselves 100%. 
  
  I don't think its wrong to have only close family and friends to the wedding.

  We are planning for a 3 o'clock wedding so we figure it wouldn't be to cold yet. It seems lilke more time goes the more people want to come and the more our family invites. We don't want to step on anyone toes we just want things the way we want them. We thought an inimate wedding and then just having a big reception. We are in the same situation too we are paying for the majority our wedding as well.

  We had an outdoor ceremony the second weekend in October in Toledo.  The weather was cool, but not too cold.  Our anniversary last year had awesome weather and it was plenty warm.  Just make sure that you have a back up plan in case it gets too cold or is rainy.

  My wedding is going to be a small ceremony (20 people) in a garden at a place called Gramercy Mansion. This is what my FI and I have always wanted but somewhere along the way it snowballed out of control due to my FMIL. We had to sit his family down and explain to them that it was our wedding and we didn't want 200 people there.

  It's generally not a good idea to not invite everyone to the ceremony and reception.  You can pull it off, however, if you ONLY invite immediate family to the ceremony.  Once you start including friends and extended family, it becomes pretty rude.
  
  Having a small ceremony and large reception doesn't save you any money (the reception is the most expensive part!) so going that route doesn't make any sense to me.

  I wanted a small ceremony, but my family-to-be was huge, and crushed all my small wedding plans. So we had small intimate ceremony with the 2 of us and my parents, and are having a big huge vow renewal ceremony and reception later. And yes they all know that we are married so we are not lying to our guests, every one on theknot seems to have a hang up on that.
  Maybe you could have a small outdoor ceremony and a larger reception in the evening, everyones happy.
