We are having trouble planning our wedding because we just purchased a home and need to save $ (hello Marriage or Mortgage show on Netflix lol). We’ve had ideas to have our ceremony at a park and then reception at our home after, but no park we’ve visited felt right or met our expectations.
Now my head is going into another direction of having just the ceremony at a venue, and then have guests drive 20 mins to our home for the reception. Do you think this option is inconvenient to guests and would make them overly judgmental? They would be starting the event in a nice location and then driving to our not-so-fancy home for a celebration after. We can’t host both ceremony and reception at our home because the yard is too small. It would also not include dancing; just food, music, and speeches.
We are okay being non-traditional, we just want to be able to have a nice event with all of our loved ones.
Thanks for your input!
