| My husband and I got married in November 2007. We didn't tell anyone until after our ceremony. Obviously a lot of people were shocked and offended that we did not include them.The reason we didn't include the family is because we had not been dating long, my family is very gossipy and negative, and we just thought we would rather deal with all the negativity AFTER our ceremony rather than have it be ruined by all the drama.In addition, we were broke...we wanted to get married for the right reasons and not have all the stress.We would like to have a 'wedding' reception/celebration on our one year anniversary.So, my questions are:1. What is the ettiqette (sp) for this? Is it totally improper or will people appreciate the inclusion?2. How should we word this on the invitations? It will be formal, at a banquet hall w/ DJ and photographer, etc...3. Did you or anyone you know have a late reception? If so, how did it go? Any miscellaneous tips?Thanks |

| There is nothing wrong with having a late reception.name and name cordinally welcomes a formal reception on date and location. |

| Many people who get married abroad have receptions later (like people who decide to mary in the carribbean). You make up invitations like you would the wedding but have something in it like "Jane and John have tied the knot and what to celebrate with you"and then place the date,time location and whatnot on the invite. |

| I would probably call it an Anniversary party, rather than a wedding reception. It can be formal or not, but I wouldn't do it just to get gifts/money. Celebrate your 1 year anniversary in style. If you took pictures of your actual wedding or have a video (I don't know if just went a JP or if you went to Vegas and eloped), you can show that and just expect to have friends/family celebrate with you. |

| When you have a private ceremony and then plan on having a reception later to include guests, it is normally done within about a month's time. So, to have a "reception" a year later is really not an option in terms of what you call the celebration. Have all the other elements you want-cake, DJ. photog, etc. but you need to call it what it really is-an anniversary party.So, on the invites, I would say something like:Please join us Saturday, _______________at 5 o'clock in the eveningReception Hall North.................for an anniversary celebrationMr. and Mrs. ------------------ |

| I think if people are aware you're getting married and know you don't want people present at the ceremony (some people are shy and private and also do this for your reasons), then they're OK with attending a reception and buying you a gift if it's soon after you've been married. but you can't wait until your 1 year anniv and then throw yourself a party, it's not close enough to your actual wedding. |

| It's pretty unusual, just call it an anniversary party.Make sure you put "No gifts, please" on the invitation. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace

Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
