Wedding Reception Invite Etiquette
I am planning a very small wedding but have run into a bit of a conundrum! We decided in order to cut down on costs to limit the reception to immediate family only. However, I have many friends that still want to come to the ceremony. Is it appropriate to invite someone to the ceremony and NOT the reception? If so, would it be appropriate to just include the reception infomation in a separate card insert? Thanks!

A lot of times couples will have a small private ceremony for immediate family/close friends. Receptions are really the fun part, where you can just have a great time with everyone. The best way to express your guest list would be to use reception cards and give them only to those invited. You may also want to think about doing it a couple hours after the ceremony so you can still do the meet and greet, or even a different day. You don`t want to offend any guests but they should be understanding of your situation.
