Venue Dilemma

Right well the venue i want/have (penciled) for the ceremony has a restriction of 55 people, which is quite small really.

The dilemma is the fact that it can be extended to 65, but these extra 10 people would have to be in a seperate room - downstairs watching ceremony via a live feed on a tv. (its a small castle with 3 rooms on 3 floors).

Would it be terribly rude to invite 10 people and then tell them they have to be downstairs, - shall i just keep it at 55?

55 is really pushing it tough which is the main prob, theres lots of friends i would like to be there but cant due to prioritising family...

any thoughts would be appreciated!!

To be honest- i wouldnt be happy about just being stuffed downstairs- and how would this happen- would it be the last 10 ppl there- these ppl could be very close to you and you may want them next to you. if i were you i cud try and cut the guest list down so everyone is with you

I have to say I'd feel pretty miffed if I was one of those who had to watch it on a tv! How would you choose who was in the main room and who was in the other room or would it be 'first come first served? I think the logistics could cause you a lot of headaches. How would you honestly feel if you were invited to a wedding and then couldn't actually attend 'in person' as it were? Would there be room for the extra 10 to stand at the back? Still not ideal, but better than being left out completely.

Yeh this is the kind of response i was expecting! haha

fire restrictions are very strict in the building so wont be allowed any more in the ceremony room.

Yeh it would probably be too mean/hard to work it out. might ask a few of my old Uni friends if they wouldnt mind it, but other than that no - ill prob not go for it and just deal with the limited numbers + MIL requesting extra people ( we had it equal at 20 family each and shes thrown a spanner in the works a bit lol!)
