   Ditto Kat. You're going to have to make some choices here.

   It's rude to only invite people to the reception unless the ceremony guest list is TINY (like 15 people) and not to the ceremony. Yes, it would also be rude to invite them to pre wedding parties and only invite them to the reception.

   I don't like hard numbers, I don't think they are realistic. 10 people would be my siblings/SO's and parents and not one of DH's family invited. If we invited just DH and my immediate families we are still over 20 people. If the Duggars, for example, only invited their siblings it would be over 20 people and that doesn't…

   but i don't want to choose... :( haha sorry, whining moment. Yeah, I think I am just going to have to sit down with Chris and our parents, open a few drinks and get this list nonsense done. If there are people we simply cannot get married without, we will change churches. Its both or neither.Thank you all so much, you've…

   20% of 300 is 60. So if you kept it to that number you could be okay. That said, I like the following options better: Move the ceremony to the church your parents got married or Only invite 190 people.

   Most couples spend way more in hosting their guests than they get in return for a gift, so I don't always by that line. Even as a non-religious person I can understand wanting to get married in a certain church that has meaning to the couple. If she keeps her guest list down to immediate family then she should be good. If…

   Note to the OP- when previous posters were referring to immediate family-only private ceremony, that usually means parents and siblings, maybe grandparents, only (especially if you have a large family). Once you add Aunts, Uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews etc it gets dodgy. And also to clairify, I meant that anyone invited…

   Hey everyone, thanks for your helpful responses!--I definitely wouldn't DREAM of inviting someone to a shower without including them in some way on the wedding day. I just wasn't sure if being included only in the reception was enough.--Here's why I'm having such trouble: Chris and I have been dating since high school, we…

     (1) What time should the reception end? Obviously we want to ring in the new year with everyone & have a blast, should Chris and I depart shortly after the countdown and let our guests boogey on down a little longer? Should we do the whole sparkler exit around 12:30 and our guests follow behind, leaving the place totally…
