Send Save the Dates to those not invited to reception?

There are many people who we would like to have at the ceremony, but we cannot afford to have everyone at the reception. Is it okay to do that? If so, would we send them a save the date, then have two different formal invites (one with reception info, one without)? Or should we just tell them verbally about the wedding and not send a save the date card?

Nope, nope nope. You are telling these people that you want them to see you and FH join together in the happiest day of your life but they can't come celebrate with you after. Its so rude and it will be very awkward for guests.

Do not invite anyone to the ceremony that will also not be at the reception. Its rude.

Please please please don't do this. It is incredibly rude. Invite those that you can afford, to BOTH events.

A) Save the dates aren't mandatory. Just don't send them to people you're unsure you want to invite.
B) This is not the issue. Tiered weddings are not okay.

This is extremely rude, but you can see from the other responses, so I'll leave it at that. Cut your guest list and call it a day.

As futuremrslav said, STD arent necessary.

Nah I don't think it's a good idea to invite ppl to the ceremony and not the reception I think itll hurt ppl feelings, confuse ppl, possibly cause conflict with the ppl that got invited to one and not the other. Just generally not a good idea. Just invite who you can accommodate to both
