If I was not good enough to be invited to the ceremony, I would not attend just the reception. Honestly.
The excuse that youre too shy doesnt hold up. Youre the centre of attention at the reception, too.
If youre too shy for a big to-do, then it should be a small reception with just the people who were invited to the ceremony.
Honestly I dont know anyone who would skip the ceremony. Its the Main Event! The whole reason for having the reception is to celebrate the ceremony.
Also, inviting just some extended family is tricky. I think its better to make clear divisions- if you invite one cousin, invite them all, otherwise you are bound to have a lot of relatives feeling as though you snubbed them.
Im not going to tell you "its your day do what you want". Your wedding day should be a celebration of you, yes, but it should also honor and respect your friends and family.
