small wedding with larger reception

Hi,

We are having a small wedding (family and close friends of family) with a large reception following that same evening.

Question is regarding bridesmaids' families - bridesmaids are 16-19 years olds. Should their parents be invited to the wedding or is it OK to extend invitation for just the reception?

Dear Young Bridesmaids,

You can just invite them to the reception.

Best wishes,
