I started out planning a wedding..and it became toooo expensive. My fiance is in the Army and I want to be able to have enough money for when we move into our new home on post. So I decided to that we should both go to city hall and get married. So with that being said...what can I do afterwards to celebrate. Dinner with the family...some sort of party. Any I deas would really help me out. Welcome to the Cedar City Review - Online::

hi there, sounds like your in the same boat my husband and i were in. he's also in the Army and came home December 31st last year after doing a 15 month tour in Iraq. we really wanted to get married but knew it would extremely expensive and ontop of that we were stationed at Ft. Carson at the time and our families are on both coasts. we went to city hall and got married.
my suggestion to celebrate with your family, is to maybe plan a reception or a family get together/meeting/party. even dinner at your favorite resaurant or a steakhouse...or even olive garden. i'm not sure the size of your family or how close y'all live to one another. my husband and i have pcs'd three times now since he got home so we havn't had the time to get the family together yet *sighs. and i'm due to have a baby in 3 weeks lol. sooooo HOPEFULLY this summer we can plan something along the same lines as a dinner or bbq.
good luck to you and your husband. God Bless and have a wonderful holiday season.
A BBQ works out nicely. You can have an inexpensive variety of food items and the relaxed setting is also affordable and easy to put together.
Are you & your fiancee planning to pay for the meal you invite your family to after the wedding?
Check with the reasonably priced restaurants in your area & see if they have a private room you could use for your dinner to make it somewhat private. Get a small wedding cake, have someone get it to the restaurant & you're good to go. Wedding Ceremony Questions | Wedding Planning, Ideas & Etiquette ::
some possible solutions to this problem before you run off to city hall. And in the third pew, your father and his fiancé can be seated with his family.

Dinner with family is a great idea. Go on a day cruise (if the weather is nice).
Taking a few people to a restaurant, having a BBQ... anything you really want to do.
dinner with fam and a small cake, i actually did that with my hubby, but mine was because everyone took over the wedding plans, so we eloped then had a big wedding and two receptions. the eloping was the best idea ever. good luck and congrats....don't forget your cake of some kind to save a piece for your 1 yr anniversary. congrats.
Just get together and have a BBQ party or something. You can get together at a restaurant, your house, family members house. Just have like a potluck and have everyone bring a dish and just have a good time. Congratulations
Most people remember the party afterwards and not the ceremony anyways. Throw a really nice bash somewhere that has meaning for you both and is easlily accessible for people (parking, wheelchair accessible for the elderly family) and is close by to some hotels incase people get blitzed and shouldn't drive.
Lots of places love catering to weddings.
Congratulations on your sensible solution. My husband and I were married at the courthouse 15 years ago. We invited family and close friends, and those that came went to a restaurant afterwards to celebrate. We went out of town that same day, for a long weekend 'honeymoon' at a bed and breakfast. We had a party at our newly purchased house two weeks later. It was early summer, so it was an indoor/outdoor party. A BBQ is a bad idea, because who will man the grill? You and your new husband will need to mingle. You don't want to worry about food. I remember we bought a ham, and made some appetizer type dishes. Since you saved so much money on the ceremony, you could consider small scale catering. If money is a concern, just have it at a time of day that people will not count on a meal (2 or 3 pm). We combined the wedding announcement with the party invitation, and dropped them in the mail on our way out of town. It turned out great. I don't regret for a minute the way we did it. The only thing I do regret is that we did not register for gifts. Don't forget to do that! Good luck, and have fun!!!!
