Hello! I have somewhat of a unique situation; I am American engaged to a Norwegian. We will be getting married Summer of 2019 in Norway and permanently moving there after the wedding to take over the family farm. I have read commenters saying that pre-wedding receptions/parties are somewhat tacky/tasteless for destination weddings... but I feel my situation might be different enough that it could be done tastefully? We are planning to host it at the Nordic Heritage Museum here in Seattle so that the guest attending can get some of the culture I will be marrying & moving into. This being said, I am wondering about the wording of the invites and how to 'split' the theme somewhat between bon voyage and pre-wedding? I think most people at the 'pre-party' will not be able to fly to Norway. The majority of my immediate family making the effort to get to Norway are in different states and won't come to the Seattle party. Should I invite everyone in Seattle to Norway instead of just some?
