Deciding what exactly to include in your wedding invitation is simple. If both the bride and groom have large extended families who want many friends and family to invite but can’t necessarily afford a large reception, don’t panic. Something to not include would be information about the reception. In this case, people who never received the invite would think there is no reception. It might be a good idea to rethink the invitation to include something that would be affordable for everyone. Those who attend your wedding will want to celebrate therefore be sure to limit the people invited to the ceremony for only the guests you would want to invite to the reception. Another way to go about planning this would be to write a small print that says reception by invitation only on the bottom of the invite. Regardless, there will probably be people who are offended in this case however this is what will happen in this kind of situation.
