I do not want a lot of people to come, but feel I have to invite the people that came to my bridal shower.
Do I
1. Not send save the date cards
2. Send invitations a month ahead but hope a lot of people do not show
I do not want any presents because my fiance and I already have everything we need for our home.

Only invite the people you want to come, that way you can keep the number as low as you need it to be. Then have a "reception" or other celebration for everyone else. Maybe have some pictures (if you are doing pictures digitally you could do a slide show) and have a cake. Invite whoever to the reception so they still feel invovled, even if they couldn't attend the wedding ceremony. Alot of people who do destination weddings do this.

Ok. Here is what I did. We live in Chicago but married in Vegas. What was worded on the shower invite was "couple will be married in a small ceremony in Las Vegas". At the shower, at the end, I thanked everyone for coming, reminded everyone that we are basically eloping and said "if anyone wants to join us for their vacation, you are welcome to attend." Make sure you put it that way so that people don't expect YOU to pay the fare or hotel.
We wound up having about 25 people total. Hope this helps.

Only send invites if you are really willing to have them there. My brother got married and he figured about 1/4 of the people invited wouldn't come. Almost everyone did. He was shocked and so was his wallet. Lots of people have very small intimate weddings. Maybe plan on a nice big reception when you get home with all your friends. A BBQ sounds fun to me. It is your wedding, don't be guilted into having a wedding you don't want to have. If your friends are true, they will understand.

We have been set up interior the golden nugget by our commute agent from Dallas. We flew interior the relaxing jet to Las Vegas, we arrived then rented a convertable corvette, which I probable does not do lower back simply by fact the taxis can take you any the place. as quickly as we informed the hotel group we've been getting married they completely went out of a thank you to make us satisfied, the room grew to become into eye-catching, even had telephones interior the bathing room!!! We went to lease our tuxedo and her wedding ceremony gown and it grew to become into wiped sparkling and sent to our hotel rooms, at the same time as we've been out on city stuffing our faces. Our family individuals arrived the next day. We woke up that morning and have been given our licence from the courtroom abode which only got here approximately to be suited around the line. Then we've been given dressed for our ceramony. Then we've been picked up by a limo suited on time. We headed off to the little chapel of plant existence accompanied by our families, I desire we invited extra human beings, however the chapel had a stay video feed that anybody might desire to work out on the information superhighway. It grew to become right into a awesome journey I acctually cried suited while the preacher began speaking ( I lost some adult adult males factors that day lol). i presumed the journey grew to become into awesome.

Try this. Tell all of them it's a small ceremony. Then plan a reception when you get back home, that way they will all feel good about you inviting them. We requested no gifts, however if they wanted to give something, we setup a donation fund for abused women and children's center.

If you invited them to the shower, they will expect an invitation to the wedding, especially if that's where all your presents came from.
There is nothing wrong with getting married in Vegas and having a 'reception' after you return. Your invitation will specify where and when for both.

Elope, then throw a party back home for everyone you would have normally invited.

If you don't want a lot of people to come, don't invite them.

It must be nice to have more people care about you who would want to come share this moment with you... compared to the small amount you actually care enough for to "allow" to come to your exclusive wedding.

I agree with the person who said elope. You seem to have too many conditions upon your wedding.
Good luck and Best Wishes!
