I'm thinking of renting a large house about 2 hours from the Twin Cities. There is room in the house for our immediate family only to stay. I'd rent the house for a week with that idea that after the wedding, we'd turn it into a large family vacation. My ceremony will be extremely casual and laid back. After the ceremony, I'd have some kind of dinner for all of the guests and the remainder of the day would be spent on the lake, playing lawn games, etc. with everyone.
Can I still invite friends to the wedding even though there isn't room for them to stay? The house is in McGregor so I'm not exactly sure if there are any hotels for them to stay in.
