Expert Advice from wedding guru, Sharon Naylor
Question:
My fiance has a huge family and i wanted to have a smaller wedding. Would it be wrong to invite just immediate family to the ceremony and then invite everyone else to the reception?
Answer:
It's never wrong to do what's in your heart, so yes, if your fiance is okay with this, then I say go for it. You'll need separate invitations and a huge amount of organization.
But be assured that many couples do plan their weddings this way, with just a handful of people invited to the ceremony, especially if it's a small church or site, and everyone invited to the reception.
You may get some guests griping, but there are very few weddings out there where someone doesn't find something to gripe about :]
Just talk it over with your fiance, and see if this arrangement feels best to you.
