Hi all,
I'm looking for your thoughts on a intimate ceremony with a large reception.
I've been going back and forth with wanting a small wedding, then changing my mind and wanting a big one.
I really don't want to walk down the aisle with a whole lot of people watching. It kinda frightens me and I'd just prefer an intimate ceremony with family and super close friends there. I feel like that would be perfect.
However, I do really want to celebrate with everyone after. For me, an intimate ceremony with a large reception after sounds ideal.
Then my mom said that people may feel upset if they aren't invited to the ceremony, and she said some may not come because of that.
So how would you feel if you were invited to a reception only? Of course the invite wouldn't say, "you're not invited to the ceremony," rather it would express our desire to celebrate our marriage with you at the wedding reception."
