Take a deep breath and then re-ask your questions.

You should just have an open house reception. What theat consists of is that you have your friends and family stop by any time during th day to celebrate your wedding. You can have food and drinks, and the guests can stay or go as they wish. Very informal yet fun.
If that isn't to your liking, i would suggest renting out a VFW or local American Legion- those usually go for under 300 bucks for the entire day. Thing is though- they may require you to buy the food there.
You could also ask a family member or a friend who has a larger home if you can use their house for the reception.
Have it at the local park. Parents would appreciate it because their children will have a place to go place, and they can all get together at the same time. Where i live you can even rent out one of the pavilions and use the space as long as you want for under 100 bucks. You can get a keg permit as well.
It is really up to you and Bill how you want to have your reception. If location is the only problem, you should look around for other possibilities.

A reception doesn't have to be "everybody come at once". I was married at the JP too. Just put on the invitations that there will be a come and go reception at 123 Main from 1 p.m.-7 p.m. Have a friend or family member who won't be your witness to help get the food ready and the drinks chilled and everything in place. Then you can come home, plop down for a few minutes to relax, and then let the people start coming in!
Best of luck honey, the JP is the way to go!

Bottom line is you will have to do the best you can with what you have whether it be money or space for guests. Your family and Friends would understand this and respect this. I would try to think out all possible options before stressing too much over this one as it will take away from the joy of planning your wedding and ultimately your actual wedding day. Do you have more room outside, in the yard where you could have room for more people?, is there a close family member who may be able to let you use their house?, why not use a park - totally free and plenty of room, or if you have the money you could easily rent a room, or facility somewhere for not that much money which would eas the heartache. Good luck!

Have a progressive party. Start it early in the afternoon, and do it til early evening. Let people arrive & leave when they want during those specific hours; sort of in shifts. That way everyone can enjoy the occasion, just not all at the very same moment

Book a hall. Or depending on where you live and the weather have a bbq in a nearby park or something. Best wishes and congrats!

Only invite the people that are the very closest to you. I know you are worried about hurting people but they will get over it. There is nothing you can do about it. It's okay, enjoy your day!!
