FH and I are marrying this weekend in front of 37 guests followed by a sit down dinner for our reception due to COVID rules in place.
To make up for the downsizing of our wedding (originally it was meant to be a total of 160) we are having a 'happily ever after party' 5 weeks later and are inviting all of our original wedding guests + the others who we otherwise would have had at the big wedding we had planned.
Knowing our crowd and culture, some people that attend both events will bring a gift to both, others will bring to just the wedding, but regardless of who gives what and when, I think it makes more sense to give out thank you cards after the after-party rather than after the wedding and then again after the after-party (in respect of those attending both).
I wanted to get some feedback on whether this is the right approach?
