International Part Two Reception

Rosethyme22, on December 16, 2021 at 9:27 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 4
Had a small, lovely (40 people) outdoor ceremony and reception in June of this year due to COVID. I have family abroad that have expressed interest in throwing me a second reception overseas. However, between the ongoing trickiness of traveling interntionally and the time it would take them to plan the event, I think it would realistically happen in spring or summer of 2023. I’ll have been married for 2 years by then–is the idea silly? So grateful that I have people across the ocean who want to celebrate my marriage, but should I tell them a second reception that far out, and far away, is too much? Or am I overthinking this, and should I just allow them to plan this if they want to, and just enjoy?

    It sounds like your family abroad just really wants to be a part of celebrating your marriage, which is awesome! If you like the idea of the reception, then I would let them throw it for you! If you feel silly calling at a wedding reception, you could make it a vow renewal (if you would like to renew your vows in front of them), or it could be a 2 year anniversary party.

    Thank for your input ☺️ I guess I almost feel spoiled potentially having two wedding celebrations! But I know sans-pandemic we would have been more able to something really big in one place where people flew in, etc. If you were me, would you do another wedding dress? Should I wear my first one again? Beige? Lol!

    I think you should do whatever you feel beautiful in! If you loved your first dress and want an opportunity to wear it again, then I definitely would! Especially if you plan to do a vow renewal. Or, if you’re like me and take every opportunity you can get to buy new clothes 😆then you could also get an entirely new dress for the occasion.

    If they want to throw you a party to celebrate your marriage - I say enjoy it!! 💖

    If you want to wear your wedding dress again, go for it! You could also wear a shorter white dress or something new - it's totally up to you!
