My fiance and I both went to college, and currently live in Oregon. However, my entire family still lives in Central California, and we will be getting married there. It's a 12-13 hour drive, and a $350 trip by plane from one place to the other. With this in mind, we're thinking most of our friends and acquaintances who whom we would love to celebrate with will not make it to the actual wedding.
With this in mind, we're planning to have a second reception/party up in Oregon about 6 weeks after the wedding. It will be pretty casual, but with great food and drinks. The chain of restaurants/hotels/event venues we're planning to use is called McMcMenamins. Anyways, we're trying to figure out invitation logistics. We were thinking of sending all of our local people a formal invitation, but adding an insert mentioning the second event. However, I'm not sure how to do this without making people feel like they aren't *actually* invited to the wedding, because that's not the goal. Ideas?
