The party we never had!

[MumOfEmi]

Hello! :)

We got married with DH in 2021. Initially we had planned a big (Greek!) wedding, we rescheduled and cancelled twice due to COVID and eventually we decided to downsize and just do it with close relatives only and our witnesses. Small ceremony, followed by dinner.

4 years on, with a daughter, we are thinking to host the party we never had in 2025! Is it unreasonable? Will people come? Most will have to fly from abroad to Greece, I wonder whether they will think it's worth it. How should we position the event? It will be a wedding celebration.. but also it won't be. More like a family celebration, since we now have a child. We don't want our guests to get the impression we do this to receive gifts (we don't expect gifts!).

Which elements of a wedding party should we keep/get rid of? Wedding dress yea or nei? Flower decorations? Dramatic couple entry? First dance?

Please help, it's just confusing! Any advice welcome!!

Thanks :)

I wouldn't come. But we're boring fuckers who never go abroad.

I see. Well, most of our friends have a desire to visit Greece. Sorry I didn't make this clear.

Thanks for the feedback. Majority of guests are from Greece though. We just live abroad as this is where our jobs are.

If I received an invite I’d be thinking why, why now and who has been shagging away.

Health-related problems.

Maybe just organise a group holiday then? But don't make it about you
