Hypothetical party-themed poll question...

I'm always in favor of the just go sign papers downtown, tell your friends months later, and at some point just throw a real big fun party.

But I seem to be in the minority on that one.

The first question I guess is what do you want? Do you want a party you'll remember for the ambience or to have as many of your friends and family there as possible. I don't know how many people would go to a weeknight wedding reception (and does that mean a weeknight wedding?) and I have no baseline since I've never had an acquaintance do such a thing where more than a handful of people were invited (the one friend I have who got married on a weekday had a five person wedding party, no invited guests, and then those five people went to dinner). But if expenses are an issue a more intimate smaller party might be advantageous.

But really, in my opinion, it comes down first to what is the primary thing about the party: the people or the decoration.
