Trying to make my wedding as budget friendly as possible, as we would rather put a big chunk of money into our honeymoon rather than all into our wedding which will only last a day.
I was considering maybe not having a reception and just having close family/friends meet up at a restaurant after the ceremony and have a dinner and celebrate together and everyone pay for their own meals. I don't know how everyone would feel about this though. Does it seem to cheap an rude to do it like this or has anyone done this and it worked out fine? I'm really at a loss, if we have a reception feeding roughly 100 guest is going to cost a good chunk of money and I'd rather just have a small family dinner with the people closest to me rather than everyone we're inviting to the ceremony ( we're inviting some that we grew up close to but aren't as close anymore). Is this rude and tacky or acceptable lol?
