That was ours, all immediate family (adults) plus one friend who wouldn't be able to make it to the reception.
I also took all of the formalities out of the reception. I hate all of the watching people dance, and cutting the cake, and throwing the bouquet when I go to weddings, so I didn't put anyone who attended my wedding through that. We just got to meet with friends and family and have a good time.
