First of all, congrgulations! And second of all, no. The thing is most guests at the wedding pay attention to not only the bride, but the intermidiate family of the bride as well. If it's a money issue then I suggest wearing an older dress to the reception. maybe a more comforatable one if there is going to be dancing. But at the same time it is the reception of the wedding and i suppose you could wear a different colored one. I sure no one will really pay huge attention. As long as you look nice. You should do different things with your hair at the reception tho b/c you don't want to recreate your look at the reception from the wedding. you can wear the same dress in a different color as long as you wear different accesories, hair, makeup and nails. I hope this helps

How long does the average wedding reception last?
Most reception halls have a closing hour of 1 AM. Generally the guests arrive right after the wedding for drinks and finger foods while the bride, groom and the rest of the wedding part as well as the parents of the bride and groom get their pictures taken. Dinner can be at 6 or 7 PM. The toasts start and then the newly married couple start the first dance; the groom dancing with his mother; the bride dancing with her father, then the groom dances with his mother in law and the bride dances with her father law.
Should you wear a different outfit to the church than to the wedding reception?
* Bride - The bride should come in with the groom to the wedding reception and be announced as Mr. & Mrs. _________. Then you will sit at the head table and there will be toasts given, etc. Dinner is generally served, then the dancing begins and bride starts off the dancing with her new husband. After that the bride will dance with her father and father-in-law and the groom will dance with his mother and mother-in-law. Once the bride throws her bouquet (at this time the groom may take the garter from his new wife's leg and throw it to the bachelors at the reception or it can be done later) then off the two go to another room at the reception hall and change. The bride may wear a dress or a suit depending on individual taste. It can be at this time that the groom take the garter off his bride's leg and throws it out to the bachelors at your reception.
What are the groom's mother's responsibilities?
It all depends on the bride who sets the theme, formality, colors of the wedding, etc. It is a formal wedding, a long gown is customary and the colors or colors depends on the color motif of the wedding. It it is a semi formal or garden type wedding, a shorter dress like a tealength or kneelength is appropriate with a less heavy fabric. It all truly depends on the bride and her wishes.

When the wedding is immediate family only can others not attending be invited to a shower?
Traditionally if the immediate family is invited to the wedding itself, but the reception is at a hall or a parent's home then guests should be invited then that is the only time you should invite others to a wedding shower. If the wedding is small with no other guests other than the immediate family then either the mother and father of the bride or the groom's parents could have a small reception at their home and those guests should then receive an invitation (can make the invitations online) or buy less traditional invitations at card shops and then invite certain relatives if you so choose. However, as long as other relatives and friends understand the reasoning for your wedding plans then you could get away with a wedding shower and wedding gifts and that is up to the bride and her mother.
