So ladies this is my first time posting on WW!! YAY, But I'm getting so many opinions about what I want to do about the ceremony and reception. I want to do a small ceremony (just Mama's, daddy's, and grandparents, and two sets of aunt/uncle) it would be a total of 29 people. And then afterwards or later that day we have a reception with the whole wedding list, it's about 120 people including the wedding ceremony guests. HF wants to just invite everyone to both, I don't lol. We could do it but it's more money in the seating for the ceremony...what do y'all think?? The ceremony is outside and the reception is inside/outside.

Oh no, this went south quickly... it started with an idea of a tiered reception, then we learn of the hay bales, and now a pig roast. I don't have anything to add that all the other PP haven't already said or those that I know will add their thoughts on this.

Gift grabby 100%.
Host all 120. Or host ONLY the 29. No in the middles.
That's rude AF.
I had a cousin do this and I'm still salty AF and will be for life. I'm good enough to get you a gift, but not good enough to see the actual purpose of the party happening? No. Fuck that. Gross

Don't do this. Seriously. Don't have your family cook, don't have hay bales, don't think it will be cute and pinteresty when I can tell you with authority that it won't.

Find a nice little restaurant, invite those 29 guests and have a ball. You'll be just as married at the end of it without the stress you're going to encounter on the way to doing a big party you really cannot afford.

I agree cut the list down to the number of people you can afford to professionally cater. Your fiance shouldn't have your ffil cooking just to (save) money so that he can invite all the people that he wants. I think 29 people or less is a good size to host adequately with your budget. Don't do things to make others happy.
