Hi! I'm recently engaged and this is my first time planning a wedding. My fiance' and I are getting married several hours away, at a very special place. We're lucky enough to be able to have close family and friends attend. Sparing a lot of details, just trust me this is the best decision.
Saying that, there are a lot of family/friends/coworkers that would have preferred us get married at home. We're not traditional people, so we're not having seperate bachlorette, etc parties. Also not everyone could be invited to the actual ceremony for various reasons. We thought of having a reception at home after the wedding, but it seems a bit too much and probably won't happen. We are going to have "insert politically correct title here" party, typical of a shower, but sort of a pre-wedding celebration with hints of showers, reception, etc to allow all those who love us to participate and be a part of our wedding 'festivities'. There are so many names, what is the proper title for this occasion?
As many would argue poor etiquette in doing a registry for this occasion, it's inevitable that we'll get gifts, and fun to do a registry anyway. Any ideas, especially a "title" would be greatly appreciated!
