So my Fiancé
and I want to get married in Vegas in a very very small ceremony (Parents and a
few close friends) and then host a party where we live for all the friends and
family to attend. It is not a reception; I don’t want it to be a
reception...just a party at a restaurant where we pay for all the food and
drinks to celebrate our marriage. Is this ok? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Also I don’t
want to invite my whole family to the Vegas wedding, I really only want my Dad
(and by default my stepmom) however they whole family will be invited to the
party. I do not live in the same state my family does and most can not afford
to attend either event anyway.
Basically my questions are:
Is it ok to have a small wedding and a party (not a
reception) when we return?
Is it rude to invite just my Dad and Stepmom and none of my
siblings?
(sorry copy and pasted from word and can't seem to get rid of the giberish)
