read the original post. Close family and friends will be at both. The responses are in. We new we can handle 85 for a sit down luncheon in our home and the yes list is just under that amount.
We had figured approx 325..not that close family, friends, business obligation invitees for the wedding feast that evening in NY.
The yes list is just over 300. Approx 70 will attend both.
No, my daughter will not spend the day in her bridal gown. She’ll be in a different gown for the evening affair. The rest of the immediate family will also be in different clothing. What is appropriate for an morning garden ceremony is not evening wear.
This is not being a snob or showoff. But I grew up in the clothing business and my paternal grandfather manufactured formal wear. Being involved in politics and attending many of the associated functions, I have plenty to choose from in my dressing room, no clothing expense for poppa for these simchas.
