I've heard that most second weddings are generally smaller. Do you agree and who would you invite for #2?

Answer 1

They should be small and discrete - just family and close friends.

Answer 2

Now days anythings go (morals and modesty have gone out the window)
Little boys "give their moms away" Bastard children are given center stage. Everyone is trying to make it look like a fairy tale wedding.
Unless the second marriage is on account of being widowed, I think it should be discreet and respectable. Just have a big Bar B Q when you get back from your "honeymoon" (which has already probably been taken so lets just call it a vacation)
Although I do give you all credit for getting married and not just shacking up together.

Answer 3

Yes, they tend to be smaller because:
a) The celebrants have aged and their "friendship" pool is often smaller.
b) The obligatory (They invited us to their wedding) list of b/g and parents is smaller. You can't hit mom's hair dresser twice.
c) The celebrants tend to be more comfortable with themselves.
d) The relatives tend to be less likely to sit in economy class for 4 hours. They showed they cared once already.
Invite - who do you know who would like to share your joy?

Answer 4

I was just the opposite. My second wedding was about 90 people where my first had less than 10. Do what you want to do. Don't listen to what everyone else has to say. This is your day!! Do what you want, how you want and where you want. Heck invite who you want as well. If we listened to everybody around us, just imagine how miserable we would always be. Good Luck to you!

Answer 5

Well that depends on whether it's the second time for both parties but really it's a matter of personal choice. To get your answer might I suggest you check out www.theknot.com because they have answers to basically any question you may have concerning an second wedding. I hope this is of help to you.

Answer 6

I'd say it's probably true because the first wedding is expected to be the only one and therefore everyone goes all out and then when there ends up being a second, it tends to be smaller.
For the second one I'd invite my close family [mother,grandmother,father,sisters,brotherinlaw,close aunts&uncles], my best friends, and my spouses close family & best friends..

Answer 7

I paid 100% for the first wedding....
#2, im paying for airfar to vegas, and an elvis chapel....anything beyond that, is on her dime.
Don't spend your money on a wedding, its a stupid waste of money, and lasts only one day, concentrate on finding the right relationship.

Answer 8

I don't know about that. Sometimes when you get married the first time you don't have the money for a big wedding. I say if you have enough friends and family for it to be a big wedding then go all out. Have fun! and Congratulations!

Answer 9

same people as the first one

Mick Jagger
Paris Hilton
Liz Hurley
Ivanka Trump
Serena Williams
David Letterman
Derek Jeter
Shirley Manson

and my family.

Answer 10

Invite whoever you want, but this time invite people who are really important to you and your fiance. Not just invite them because they're your parent's friends.

Answer 11
