My wedding is here in OR, but the majority of my family and friends are back in WI. Our wedding is relatively small, and what my dad really wants to do is have a party for my FI and I next summer back in WI so my parents can invite all their friends and anyone who couldn't come to the wedding. So that is what we are going to do. I am not going to worry about the peeps here in OR (I won't even invite them--they won't be slighted in the least). Do what makes YOU happy!!!!
I think you should invite family to both, and let them do what they can, they are adults.
The only people I'm inviting to my second, in town reception and not to my actual wedding are co-workers and it's understood that none of them are invited to my out of town wedding and first reception.

We are having our wedding in Georgia and neither of our families live here. My family lives across the South out to Texas and the groom's family lives along the East Coast into Upstate New York. We realize that not everyone will be able to attend our wedding, but we are perfectly fine with that as we want a small wedding.
My FMIL has suggested having a second reception a month later in Northern Virginia for those unable to travel to Georgia; however, many members of my family are also unable to attend the ceremony and the second reception is even further away for them. I feel as though members of my family may feel badly that they cannot attend not one but two receptions.
Also, FMIL has a long list of "family friends" that she wants invited, so I am thinking that the second reception is the best way to have them celebrate with us.
Should I worry about my family members feeling awkward about not attending either celebration?
Can I invite people only to the second reception and not to the wedding and first reception?
