I am still in the early stages of planning but my Fiancé and I are seriously considering having an intimate ceremony (with just us, our parents, and grandparents) but having a big reception (with the whole crew). The venue we want works very well for the intimate ceremony (in terms of being beautiful and sentimental to us) however, it is about a two hour drive from our hometown and most of our guests. Therefore, we were considering have the ceremony and reception on two different days (or maybe even two different weekends).

So I have 2 Questions:

1. Is it rude to invite people to the reception and not the ceremony?

2. Am I crazy for wanting to have them on two different days/weekends?

    Did you end up doing this and how did it work out ?

    I think it is So smart. I am planning to have a very small ceremony in a beautiful little venue then open the reception up to everyone, but both on the same day ! I'd like to know how it went for you . Please give me insight if you can!

    I don't think your comment was very warranted - get over yourself.
