We are going to Hawaii for a destination wedding. Our venue is basically the same location, ceremony being outdoors on the lawn of the restaurant and reception dinner (no dancing) indoors of the restaurant.Reception venue (inside the said restaurant) we reserved has a hard cap of 40 people including bride and the groom, while the ceremony venue, which is outdoors, is more flexible with about 70 max seats. To make things less complicated, we initially decided to cap the whole wedding at 40 people.My fiancé wants to invite some extended family members from abroad, but that got delivered wrong and now they want to send only two people (his recently married cousin + wife) as a “representative” of like three families. Reason being that they havent had a legitimate honeymoon yet due to covid.My fiancé is not comfortable with that since he’s only seen the wife of the cousin twice before and he would much rather have other folks (uncle/aunts) who he loves to come and celebrate with us. Also he doesn’t like the whole honeymoon reasoning as well. So we are now thinking extending the invitation to include other family members for the ceremony but only include who we really want for the reception. Would this seen as not appropriate? Has anyone done something like that? Please share experiences/opinions!Tl;dr is it ok to invite some people for ceremony only and not for reception dinner at a destination wedding? How could I deal with such situation? via /r/weddingplanning https://ift.tt/3FQhDKO
