I don't know how many people would go to a weeknight wedding reception (and does that mean a weeknight wedding?)

Well, our actual wedding is in Michigan in June, but very few of our friends would be able to make it-- "past the Mississippi" to coin a phrase. The main party in question is our real-big-fun-party in Los Angeles. We definitely want our pals there, there's no question of cutting our guest list down.

There'll be some guests coming from the Bay area (I hope, anyway) so I'm not sure I can stomach making them take more than one day off of work in exchange for a more affordable night at a movie theater.

OH! Have I said too much?

We're working on a plan where we can keep the swank in but not have to exclude the likes of 1/2 of the Sloane couple.

So do we actually get to read the poisoned food story?

He could title it: Barf Mitzvah.

It sounds trite, but I actually think budget issues spark creativity. I think my wedding and reception were much nicer and more fun/interesting because I was trying to work within a budget. (Can't afford professional string quartet that charges a couple K? Try extremely talented amateurs working toward their union qualifications who would be happy with a couple hundred and a trip through the buffet.)

It's your reception. I do know a fair bit of folk in LA area too, so you never know the connections we might have.
