DP and I have been engaged for 2 years. We had a little boy last January so wedding plans were put on hold and then of course COVID.
Starting to think about finally getting married and wanted some opinions on if this plan sounds ok as we have no idea what we’re doing!
Plan is for a Thursday ceremony in July in a lovely registry office, a nice room there which currently has capacity of 18. We plan on inviting both sets of parents and our 18month old will also be there. We aren’t bothered about other guests so may say to people they’re welcome to attend if they want but it’ll only be a short 30-45min ceremony (in a nice touristy place so they can have a wonder round after if they want). After the ceremony we plan on having some pictures taken then having a nice meal with parents only.
On the Saturday we will host a little party (depending on what’s permitted at the time) in our garden and invite local friends to that so I suppose that’ll be our wedding reception.
Does that sound ok? We don’t want to spend lots to take lots of people to dinner and we don’t want anyone to book the day off especially so are only saying for people to come to the ceremony if they’re available (lots of friends work pt/ are on mat leave etc)
We will stay in a nice hotel the night before and night of the wedding day to make it a bit more special.
Any thoughts welcome
