A Reception After A Destination Wedding

Sometimes, a solution to not being able to invite everyone you'd like to your destination wedding is to have a reception at home. 

A reception that occurs after you've returned from your destination can be larger and a great way to celebrate with all of your family and friends. 

If you've had a really small destination wedding, or even if it was just the two of you eloping, this sort of reception can include everyone and be a compromise to having a traditional wedding in your hometown. 

Receptions after the wedding can be big or small, formal or informal, it's all up to your taste and budget. 

Guests invited to this after-reception will probably be the same ones who are sent announcements, so you may or may not wish to include your invitations to the reception with them. 

Gifts are usually not expected at these affairs (but some people will probably bring gifts anyway!).
