Question About Invitations
My friend just got engaged to a man who this is his 3rd marriage and her 2nd marriage. She is the choir director for our church and doesn`t know how to handle not inviting all of the members. They would like the wedding to be small about 100 to 150 and with the families alone it is a big chunk. Our Choir has about 40 people which would be a big chunk too. What can she do?

Hello Dottie, what my husband and I are doing is that everyone is invited to the ceremony as it does not cost extra to have them there and then we will serve a light meal to every one, buffet style different kinds of salads, veggie platters that kind of things and then later we will be having a family only reception/party at our mother`s (his mom) house. Our ceremony is at 12 noon so since it is not dinner time as yet this works out great. I hope this helps alittle. Tamra

Thanks,
Someone from our church is doing something similar. For all those not attending the reception there will be a horderve type party at the church with punch etc... Then the reception at her reception hall will be about 2 to 3 hours after the Wedding Ceremony.
Thanks again for your reply

One thing, and i know some might not agree with me. But maybe tell people who are invited to the reception not to mention anything about it during the actual ceremony or to people who are not invited. That way those who are not invited would not get their feelings hurt.
