My fiancée and I originally planned our wedding to be a one day affair but then my mother wanted a mendhi.
We have a "small" venue for our wedding/reception (i.e. a unique converted from an old mill by the river venue) and a bigger one for our mendhi (i.e. standard banquet hall) so we are inviting more guests to our mendhi, entire families, whereas with the wedding, only one or two. Mendhi is on Friday, wedding is on Sunday.
My question is it weird to invite some guests (my friends who are not south Asian) only to the wedding and not the mendhi? Or should I invite them to both and let them decide.
I might be a little weird about this because I've never invited anybody to anything in my life and feel like I am imposing on ppl with two events. But my fiancée is like people will decide for themselves.
What do u think?
