- - Is it rude? (https://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?t=47554)

My fiance has a huge family and lots of friends (70+ of whom were in attendance when he proposed). How do we tactfully invite everyone to the wedding but NOT the reception? I have gone to lots of sites about it, but they say to just not put the card with the info in the invitation, but I know people.... they will call or email, and ask for directions and times.

What do I do?

What do you do?

Check our Wedding Etiquette #s 1-whatever number of thread from days gone by.

it is not rude to not want to invite everyone to the reception. if you are attempting to keep the reception to intimate family and friends, i think honesty is best. do some additional research on the various wedding sites because i am certain there is a protocal for that. i think it would make sense that those you wish to invite to the shower should have a card indicating that information. good luck.
