Tiered wedding or reception

Can someone explain this to me? I'm pretty sure I'm having this for my wedding but I'm not sure. Is this when you invite some guests to your wedding and others to your reception? I always see that tiered weddings are frowned upon (oops) so I'm curious!

    You know I think its funny how people always react to this topic. It really depands on where people are from. Americans (most, at least here) are like OMG NOO ITS SO RUDE - I think thats funny cause its soo normal in the UK or Ireland. We are from Austria and we have like 20-30 people coming after dinner, cause we arent so close to have them there for the whole day but I def want them there for the party. What I think is a bit weird : get an invite fort he ceremony but not dinner but then again for the party.. no

    But just an invite for after dinner, yes for sure!!

    Ist not rude and if anyone gets offended by it (seriously?) they better off at home anyway!

    So my parents are pastors and my dad insists on inviting the entire church to our wedding ceremony. Our church has over 1000 people so even if a small portion of the church comes, it’s going to make my wedding HUGE and cost way more than we can afford. We are having an open ceremony that the church can be apart of but then our reception will be only for people that actually have a relationship with my fiancé and I. It’s definitely a tough situation, but my dad is paying for the wedding so I want to respect his wish.
