  smh0815, you posted the question, so I think part of you had to question if it's right to host your guests so differently. The fact that you're asking indicates you probably care about your guests and what they think. Trust that initial instinct to doubt your proposed plans and follow the advice here so your guests feel treated well.

  "mebers of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who have a current temple recommend may be invited as guests to a sealing ceremony in the temple. A temple recommend is a small card that demonstrates they have interviewed with the appropriate priesthood leaders and been found worthy to enter the House of the Lord. Wedding couples are asked to keep those guests to a relatively small number, primarily immediate family and a few close friends; this allows the service to remain reverent and sacred."

  
  

  she might be mormon and if so this is what her church rules are but she did not verify if she was or not but still tered weddings are rude rude rude you invite everyone and you host everyone properly ceremony reception food cake punch dancing whatever dont just invite people to have a good time without feeding them 

  I got dizzy just trying to read your second paragraph.  Please, for the love of all that is cute and fluffy, practice punctuation!

  I love it when people post on the Etiquette board and then get mad when they receive proper etiquette advice.

  We just don't understand her life and why she should be able to do whatever she'd like.
  
  I understand if she's following church rules, it can get difficult. But otherwise. Pfft.

  I doubt if the OP is Mormon.  She would have confirmed that by now if she was.
  I can see that it would be confusing to be in a state where there are different customs for different churches, but Mormons do not commonly have tiered receptions.  Their weddings are private, and then they have a celebration with people outside the immediate family at their reception.
  OP, you really need to think about your guests needs first.

  Here is something that I found on this website!

  
  

  
  

  - Tiered weddings are totally the norm. Ceremony is often just attended by the closest family and friends. After that, there's cocktail time for everyone the couple knows: colleagues, neighbors you hardly know... Dinner is for closer people again, sometimes just for family and bridal party. The current trend is to have a small dinner and than invite mostly the younger crowd/friends for dancing.
  

  PPs have you covered on this being a horrible idea. But please, enlighten me on how you would even DO this logistically. Here's what it sounds like to me:

  
  

  -Ceremony for Friends and Family (just the closest people)

  -Then cocktail hour for everyone including people you hardly know who happen to live in your neighborhood (super strange).

  -Send the neighbors home. Straight up ask them to leave. Or have the DJ make an announcement (should they call out names?), because now it's time to feed dinner for just the closest people again.

  -After dinner invite all the rando people in your life to come back for dancing. If they arrive early while dinner is still being eaten, have someone collect their presents and place them on gift table. Make them wait outside til dinner is done being eaten because you know, there's nowhere for them to go yet. The will queue up outside until dancing begins.

  
  

  Gahhhhhhh.

  OP, it's totally the norm to appoint a friend who isn't good enough to be a bridesmaid the honor of being the gift police at your reception. They stand next to the gift table with a list of guests and check off names as they deposit gifts or cards (with money -- the guests have to open the card to prove it). Then after dinner the bride and groom call up the guests who didn't give gifts or gave empty cards and line them up on the dance floor. The bride and groom then walk down the line and kick each guest in the shin (the bride kicks the left shin, the groom kicks the right).
  
  
  
  
  There. It's on the Knot, so it must be acceptable behavior.

  You can find websites on the internet that claim that the earth is flat.  That doesn't make it true.
