Wedding/ Reception Lists

Hi! I have a serious dilema. My fiance and I know alot of people. We could easily invite 250-300 people to our wedding. We only want 150-170 at the reception. Can we invite some to the wedding and not to the reception? How would we say that? Our budget is not as big as our wedding list. Please, anyone, help.

Thanks alot,

Shaunette

Well think about it, woud you want to be invited to a wedding ceremony and not the reception. I am sure that it`s been done, but doesn`t sound right, and doesn`t make you look good. I wouldn`t do that if I were in your shoes.

I wouldn`t do that. I would rather not invite them at all and try to invite who is very important to you both to be there to witness the wonderful service and can celebrate with you both. As you get RSVP`s back, you can decide if someone can`t make it to go down the list of the rest of the names so they may have a chance but to invite someone to one and not the other is just not right.
