My fiance and I are low income and as such are having a small wedding within our means of about thirty guests. As such, there are alot of people that we just have not been able to invite that we otherwise would have. My mother suggested that we invite these people to come to our wedding after dinner has been served to share in the wedding cake and wine, but not the sit-down dinner itself.
Is this a terribly tacky idea that I should skip altogether, or are there ways of doing it that can allow me to include these guests without busting my budget? How should I word these specific invitations to make it clear, for example, that I do not want gifts from these guests, etc?
PS
If it matters at all, I live in Northern Canada.
