Hello,
I'm asian and we're having a traditional wedding at my parents house and do not plan to have a reception or ceremony. Being asian the way to invite family and friends is through word of mouth. I have informed my friends through FB and/or text messages of our traditional wedding and a few have asked if we are having an american reception. At this time I said NO we are not. We are however have a destination wedding in 1.5 years and will only be inviting exclusive family and friends only. I will be creating an informal fb invite for all the friends regarding our traditional wedding date.
My dilemma is this? Should I include that there will be no american reception following on the fb invite? I don't want to sound rude at all but didn't want anyone to expect a reception in the near future. Usually in our culture we don't have an american wedding at all and just elope to city hall. However nowadays if the couple can afford they will host a reception in the near future. In our case we decided for a DW.
Thanks!
