what is the term "we each pay our own". Like when you go out with friends to eat out you'll say something (a word) that means we pay our own stuff or dinner./

Are you thinking about, "Let's go dutch"? Or Dutch Treat?

You need to understand that the wedding is not the same thing as the reception. You should have the wedding at a place where there is no food. A park or wedding chapel, etc. It will be pretty obvious that no food will be served and any one coming is coming strictly for the wedding. Then you have a reception. It is traditional to invite everyone to the wedding and the reception however if you have a small budget you have a small reception. The cheapest way to do it is have a reception line after the wedding. This can be at the same place as the wedding or somewhere else. You have light snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. You make sure everyone knows it is not a sit down dinner but a quick reception. That way anyone who comes to the wedding can also come to the reception line. If you do it right after the wedding people will be less likely to expect a large meal. You do not have a reception and expect people to pay. That is tacky and will forever mark you and your new spouse as cheap. It would be better to find a cheaper place with a set menu than you can afford than to hit people up for money for their own meal. Your argument about the economy being bad is lame. If it is bad for you, it is bad for them. Have you considered eloping? It will save a ton of money for everyone as your "guests" will not have to chuck out money for presents. Think how that will help them with the bad economy.

You can say in conversation just Dutch. Like "Hey Amy I need a study partner and I'm starving was thinking about going to Chili's wanna go Dutch?" But yes Dutch Treat is the proper vernacular for the term.
