Reception after Elopement

Hi! Planning on having a small intimate wedding/elopement with just immediate family and then a reception afterwards for friends to celebrate! Would it be weird if we had the reception 2 days following the wedding? We would obviously send out invites sooner but has anyone ever done this or plans to? I will be leaving my parent's house shortly after and want my fiancés family from out of town to come as well so they want to throw like a going away/celebration of our marriage. Thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
