invitation for small wedding?

[Vivianne]

I read the other wedding thread and never finished. Interesting thread. Where I come from (New York) and even that is up for debate, I didn't mind anyone at my wedding ceremony. Ouch!

However, with the cost involved it was worded - "Reception by invitation only" you can indicate number on the acceptance card which is included and pre-stamped. I only had invited 80 and 79 accepted. Have someone at the door with a list.
It worked for me.

We only had 65 at our wedding, but our wedding invitations had the traditional wording. My mother and MIL had earlier spread the word that it was going to be a very small, intimate wedding, so it was never necessary to change the wording on the invitation.

Thanks for all your posts.
For those who asked, she is having a dinner either in a private room in a restaurant or in a small banquet hall (there may be D.J. if it's at the hall). I like the idea of calling it a dinner, not a reception, if it's at the restaurant.
And like someone posted, it doesn't matter how many you invite, someone will feel slighted.
I'll pass all this info on to her.
