Hello, we are a lesbian couple and we were married on June 17th, as soon as the law changed. Now we have friends and family that are a part of our lives and we have family that we do not exactly know what their opinion is on the topic of gay marriage. But we think, for the most part, they will be supportive would be willing to attend our reception. We could have as little as 20 people or 150 people depending on what their personal beliefs are. Kind of crazy, isn't it? So, this makes it extremely hard to plan for this destination celebration.
How do I ask who will attend our destination celebration with out being rude? (Will you attend cards with our announcements?) What should we do?
Thank you in advance.

Be sure to use the spell check to help you out. I have two kids with ADD, I understand. I'll tell you what I tell them - What the heck are you doing online at 3AM??? Go to bed.
Your question will be answered soon. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
You would treat this like any other belated wedding reception. If this is being scheduled for a future time, please note that it should be soon, within the first year of marriage. And, you would want to send a save the date or if it is informal, you could simply email everyone letting them know of your plans and that they will receive a formal invitation at a future date. Neither of these options request a response, but more than likely you will receive one. Then you should know roughly how many will attend.
You can include travel information for their convenience.
About 8 weeks before your reception, you would send out invitations with a RSVP. Then you will know your guest count.
Please note that the longer you wait to host your reception, the more traditional elements you would want to skip as they just don't seem relevant. But all elements are optional anyway.
