My fiance and I are having a very small private ceremony and reception with our immediate families, but want to hold a casual post wedding celebration lunch a few weeks later for extended family and friends. We are half jokingly referring to it as a "marital open house", as we want it to be relaxed and casual. We found a cool microbrewery to serve as a venue (brick walls, exposed ductwork, wood floors), and while they serve more traditional luncheon fare like chicken and fish, we are gravitating toward the pizza, pasta, and salad menu. I loved the idea at first, and think that it fits our casual theme, but now I am nervous that guests will be disappointed or think it is tacky...even though we are hoping to be very clear that it will be casual.
I am thankful for any opinions you all have!
