not everyone comes to the church anyway and I think it's rude to tell people you don't want them at the church especially when that is really what the wedding is about isn't it. I do find it tacky it's like saying "I only want important people at the church to witness our commitment, but you can come to the party and give us a gift"
This.

Re: Wedding invitation opinion
I think it's tacky and more important, it is against Catholic teaching. A wedding ceremony is a public sacrament - not a private one. The couple is taking their vows in front of God and "these witnesses." The witnesses do not just mean the MOH and BM. A marriage ceremony in the Church is a declaration of your vows in a public forum that is open to all - invited or not.
The entire marriage process in the Catholic Church is meant to be shared as a community event and is very public. From the publishing of the wedding banns to the ceremony itself.

ITA, you have a wedding reception to celebrate the wedding that took place. IMO it's not fair to ask people to come to the party and give a gift but exclude them from the actual reason for the party.

Re: Wedding invitation opinion
I think it's offensive if I was told they didn't want me at their ceremony because they wanted it to be "special" & presumed I didn't feel obligated to attend.
But they wanted to invite me to a party which obligates me to a chunk of change.
If you want to elope, just elope. Don't give an explanation like that.

Re: Wedding invitation opinion
I just realized that I went to one of these!
LOL
My uncle and aunt eloped--they got married on the water in Montauk with his kids present and her sister. That was it.
They didn't tell anyone.
Then they had a party. I guess that way I didn't think it was tacky?
