My fiance and I have both been married before. We will paying for our own wedding and "dinner Party. We decide to go with an intimate wedding and dinner party celebration.
We have narrowed down the invite list to 70 people out of 150. He is a well known musician and has many friend and contacts.
Question: Is it ok to send out two different invitations? One invitation that invites the 70 people to join us for the ceremony and dinner party-and another general invitation to join us at the church for the ceremony...with no mention of an after party?
I've already been told that that is tacky...but what do you do to get the word out that your getting married on Sept. 18th and if you wanna come to the church you can?

Re: [PamelaMagee] A list and B list for invites

Dear Ms. Rutherford,
There are open church weddings, but these are usually followed by a reception at the church--light fare. There really is no way to do what you've suggested politely. It is as if you are telling your guests that some are good enough for spending money on for a party and some are not.
One alternative could be to host a cake and beverage reception, or some other lower cost option; this way you could invite everyone.
