Do you need to have guest RSVP if they will only be invited to reception dance?

I barely like going to weddings for people I'm close to. Hard no on an acquaintance where I only get to go to "the dance." I agree with whoever PP said you should talk to people who have done this successfully, AND people who have been invited this way and how they REALLY felt.

Reeeeally sounds like you just want extra gifts/$$$.

Why would you want to invite people you haven't seen in years?

We are only inviting friends that we've seen or talked to within the last year. If we were close with them once, but haven't talked to them in recent yearss, they are NOT invited.

But this is your wedding and you do what you want.. don't come crying afterwards that no one showed up to your dance-only part of the reception.

I Personally would cut my guest list. I will tell you now I'd rather not get an invite at all than to get a tiered wedding invite.

Oh god she's taking her ball and going home. Bbboooo hoooo. People are real on here and if soooo many people think it's a bad idea do you really think it's okay? It's rude to have a tiered reception.
