Our wedding is in September and we're having it in Las Vegas, however we will be having a very laid-back reception back here in Oregon a couple weeks after the actual wedding. I've been getting split feedback regarding whether or not to put that there will be a reception after the fact on the invitation. I feel that it will make people more comfortable with the fact that they might not be able to afford the Vegas part but can still celebrate with us afterwords. Feedback I've been getting is to send a separate invite for the reception a few weeks before the actual reception.
Any feedback? Ideas on wording?
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Also....a separate issue is if we just invite everyone to Vegas and whoever shows shows, or if we should only invite our close family and the extended family to the reception?
i have posted in other blog and forum,but nobody help me.

Weddings under $5000
Okay, with all the talk of budget going on, I have decided that brides with a smaller budget need our own place to share ideas, resources, experiences and support. I remember how alone, lost, cheated and hopeless I felt when I first started all this, and I don't want another bride to feel that way. Every woman deserves a wedding, and every woman is capable of planning a wedding! Human beings have done great things, it's in our nature to succeed. We will have fantastic, moving, beautiful, meaningful weddings without spending as much as our cars cost!
I will start by quoting what I think is the most important rule of wedding planning:
FORGET EVERYTHING YOU THINK KNOW ABOUT WEDDINGS
A wedding requires five things- a bride, a groom, an officiant, and two witnesses. Everything else is fair game. I know it's hard, but throw away your bridal magazines and stop reading about celebrity weddings. It's always cheaper to cook from scratch, and if you start with a clean mental slate, it's a lot easier planning for you.
