So,
We have a big hispanic family that will be enjoying our special day with us. We opted to have our ceremony at our Reception Venue as he is Catholic and I am not, so it is just the best fit for us.
However, our hall only has a 50-person capacity for the ceremony. My stance is to invite 25 closest from his side and 25 closest from my side for the ceremony, and then invite the other 250 for the reception only.
He wants to invite everyone to both the ceremony and reception and whoever doesn't make it on time just stands in the back or sit at a nearby table, as it will be a short service, anyway.
I don't know. I think if I invite you to the ceremony, then you should be offered a chair at least! What would you do?
