I agree with this. A lot of people may not go because they have plans. I think any holiday should be off limits.

Does it have to be in Feb? Just get married in March, instead? Pay for dinner is really silly. Just do a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres or
something....

You can always have people bring snack like foods and can make it a somewhat sports/Football themed reception. If you know anyone who makes cakes, you can
always have the cake look like a foot ball field where the bride and groom make a "touchdown" at the end zone or something.
Good luck with everything!! |

I wasn't joking. I was really trying to give the OP some options.

Can you do a little reception-type thing at your new place? Almost like a housewarming? Or is that a stupid idea?
 I don't know. TBH I've never
been to wedding that wasn't in a hall or something.

Aw, you're breaking my heart.
The last thing you want to feel shitty about is your wedding. If you keep the guest list small, like 30 people or so, then I'm assuming every single person you invite will be close enough to you that they will understand whatever sort of celebration you can afford. If I got a random invitation in the mail from a co-worker I never spoke to outside of work that told me I could expect to pay my own way, I'd roll my eyes and skip it. If my best friend from high school told me she was getting married in a chapel and would have a small reception and then if I wanted to go to dinner afterwards to continue the celebration, I would have to pay, and did I understand, I would say, of COURSE, congratulations, and I cannot wait. |

^I agree w/ that. Dont feel bad about it at all. Do what makes you happy! Last I checked overspending never made anyone happy lol.
As for the date. Are you totally opposed to Moving the wedding to the next month? You will probably have a few issues w/ people not coming because you have to pay but maybe not. I think if I were invited to your wedding I would think "We'll be paying dinner someplace anyway" why not celebrate w/ a friend on her Wedding Day. |

killing two birds with one stone..

There is nothing sacred about Valentine's Day. It's an artificial occasion created by greeting card people.
If someone wants to get married on that day, I would go. It's just another day. |

But I really don't have choice if I want to get married, unless I want to save up a couple grand that will last for 1 day . That will take years due to bills and such. But yeah, only the people that
matter have been invited, and I can only hope will understand. We won't be sending out random invites or anything like that, I would roll my eyes at that
too.

Valentine's Day=Lupercalia. Older than Hallmark.

If someone is getting married, you go to the wedding. Don't be selfish. You can celebrate Valentine's Day the next day.

I wouldn't mind. I don't think Valentine's Day is a big deal.
Don't let JJB get you down about your wedding plans. If you only invite people close to you, they should be understanding. Try to make it clear that you don't expect gifts or anything and that you just want to get married. If people aren't spending money on a gift (although, most probably will anyway ) I doubt they'll be upset about spending money on an optional dinner.
