It's a second wedding for both of us, and we are going to have only 15 people at the wedding ceremony, but host an open house 2 weeks later for family/friends. Besides stopping by for food and socializing, what other activities (if any) should we plan? Could it be considered offensive if we bring pictures from the wedding for people to see? I don't want people to be bored or feel they've wasted their time coming over. Thanks.

I think it's a great idea to show your wedding photos. If you have a video, that would be welcomed too. If you were my family member orfriend and I was not able to attend your wedding I'd sure want to/have to see your pictures. Anyone who doesn't want to watch or look at the photos can socialize. Just set up an area with your pictures and another area with your wedding video running in a loop and allow whoever wants to see it to do so at their convenience.
Enjoy. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I definitely would want to see your photos. You are clearly being considerate by trying not to make it feel too much like a formal reception - but you needn't go so far as to ban the sentiments of your wedding completely. Photos and/or videos would be welcome additions. Shayna Walker, Williamsburg Wedding Design http://www.williamsburgweddingdesign.com

Here, here. I too agree completely. Share your wedding with your guests.
