Inviting wedding guests to only part of the reception.
My daughter and her fiance plan to invite 200 guests to the wedding ceremony and the reception. This is the number of guests that can be accomodated by the church and reception room. They have additional friends that they would like to be able to include and are wondering if it is proper to invite them to the wedding dance only. A special invitation would be sent to them, inviting them to the dance only; otherwise, these people will not be included at all. What do you think?

If I understand you correctly you want to invite some guests only to part of the reception. Imagine how you would feel if you were not invited to witness the ceremony nor invited to eat. Most people would be insulted since this would imply that they aren't as important to you as some of the other people - second choice of sorts. We have received this question in the past, with the host explaining that she felt as though these guests would be insulted if they were completely left out, but, trust me, we also get posts from guests who are insulted. For this reason what you intend is not acceptable. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
