Make sure the "home reception" is tame and then have an all out party later. (His parents will be paying for the later one.) Has anyone ever heard of that before? Having a reception about a month or two later for family that couldn't make it to the "real" one. Considering our distance....
It seems pretty possible to me.
THanks for everyone's ideas and yes, we do have a while before we have to make any major decisions. This is just something I have been wondering.

This is probably what mr. honeychile & I will do. My family (with the exception of about 3-4 people) doesn't drink, so we're thinking of a reception at the church (my church is really beautiful!), then have an Irish blow out in his home town about a month later!
And I want to add my voice to those who say "No Cash Bar"!!! It's just too tacky for words. Have a reception at a hotel and let the drinkers buy alcohol at the hotel bar, but never, ever invite someone to an event and charge them for it!!
