My wedding and reception will be held in a very small town. It's common practice to hold an "invitation only" wedding and then a public reception/dance, which is advertised in the local paper. I'm trying to figure out how to plan for this, since the majority of those showing up at the dance won't be by invitation. Usually, ALOT of people show up. Are they still considered my "guests"? I would like to provide beer and champange (as well as non-alcoholic beverages) for my invited guests, but I can't afford to splurge for the entire county.
As for the food, I will be holding a buffet supper, (BBQ beef, potato salad, baked beans, etc. hey, it's a country theme.) Anyway, should I make it an invitation only meal, then put away the food before the dance begins, or try to make enough for everyone and when it runs out...it runs out?
We've been engaged and living together for six years so it's a, "It's about time" party so I want everyone in the county to have a blast! Any suggestions?!?!
