We are getting married overseas, and as we assumed not everyone can go, we mostly invited family and close friends since we knew the majority of our friends wouldn’t be able to attend something overseas. We would however like to celebrate with people who aren’t attending once we’ve gotten married. Any ideas? We’re looking into pricing for renting a catered venue but that looks pricey after paying for an actual wedding ceremony + reception. Would it be weird to just throw a dinner party at home? Also wondering if it would be rude to book a portion of a restaurant but have people pay for their own meal? Considering renting an outdoor space and providing food ourselves too- With so many different diets these days that poses as a difficult task though. I don’t want to come across rude or inconsiderate to guests but looking for something affordable and manageable for everyone.
Ideas and thoughts welcome!
