Hi. I am wondering something. We are from Canada and we are going to have our wedding in Mexico. I think we should have a reception at home for people who can't come. He thinks too bad for them if they can't. So........who's right? Hahaha. Seriously, I get what he's is saying. More cost and it's like we are having two weddings but is it rude not to have a reception at home? Thanks!

We also decided not to do it as the main reason that we were having a destination wedding was to save money. We did however do an engagment party and invited all of our friends and family so those who could not make it got a chance to celebrate with us.

I can just speak for my experience.  Brides that have a destination wedding, may be the 70% of them,  have a little reception for friends that couldn't make it.
may be nothing big, a dinner, little party, where they show the experience they lived back in Mexico. Usually this dinner is one to two months after the destination wedding.

 

good luck!!

I didn't have one after my wedding.  If a friend has gotten married here in Wisconsin, she doesn't throw a second smaller wedding for all of those who can't make it, so I didn't feel like I should either.

 

I had my wedding, I paid for an amazing reception.  If they couldn't make it, that's really sad, but they understood.
