We are getting married in Maui @ Gannon's in May. It was originally only supposed to be us and our parents and things kind of got out of hand, not by my doing but by my mothers, and I know have 20 guests plus the two of us. I told everyone that we weren't going to do a reception or anything like that over there because we were putting that money towards an at home reception. We're paying for it and recently had a little one so everything is on a shoe string budget. We're getting married at 5 on a Friday and had planned on taking everyone on a sunset cruise that following Sunday. My uncle lives on the island and is throwing us a back yard barbeque with a live band, food, and drinks on Saturday.
Here's the thing, I feel bad not feeding everyone the day of the ceremony. The one thing I splurged on was the photography, that is one of the most important things for me, and we were supposed to go off after the ceremony and take pictures just the two of us for the next few hours. I don't want to skip on that and spend money that we really don't have on a dinner reception. Would it be tacky to take everyone to breakfast that morning instead?
Originally it was only going to be our parents and now I have cousins, nephews, aunts, and uncles coming as well. And now I feel like what I had planned on doing isn't enough. Any advice, suggestions, or anything is very much appreciated. Thank you!
