My stepdaughter is getting married and plans to have wedding, dinner for specific guests, and then reception to follow. I say it is not appropriate to exclude some from dinner and I also think that this is to much time between wedding and reception. Please give advice on this touchy subject.
You are in a difficult position, so it may be best for dad to deliver the news. And, you are right about all of it.
We never invite guests to only part of the reception. It is like saying to the second set of guests that they are not good enough to feed--that they are second class. This is very impolite.
There shouldn't be too much time in between the wedding and reception because it isn't polite to ask our guests to wait. As good hosts we should always consider what is best for our guests. If a host doesn't want to do this, there should be no guests--simple.
