Second marriage etiquette?

[NoEffingWay]

Looking at getting married to dp in the next year or so. I know most of the time second weddings are typically a bit smaller, but the first time for me was a registry office followed by a pub reception.

Short of a ceremony done by the pub landlord followed by a party in the park with no guests I don't think it could get any smaller 😁.

(I also have the issue of it's the same city so not another registry office and don't want to replicate the photos with new dp).

What would you do? All suggestions welcome. Budget not huge (5k ish)

A small ceremony in a hotel.

Just the two of you nip to the next towns registry office.

I would like to invite some family and close friends. It's dp's first wedding so I have suggested he could wear a big dress this time!
The next town over has a registry office...but it's where ex-h is from.
Might have to go rogue and go to a completely neutral place.

Are there any nice hotels locally that are registered for ceremonies so you could do that and a nice dinner in the same place?

Yes, I'd do a small ceremony in a lovely hotel, so still small so it doesn't look OTT - but I'd really go all out on having a really luxurious elegant celebration.
