 Our mothers and aunts have already been informed of our wedding plans.  We sat them all down a couple of years ago and said: "at some point, we'll be married and you are not invited to the ceremony."  
Our families are great, but it's still more than we want to do.  We have a little teensy religious problem, so everyone will be slightly  offended by whatever we choose.
They still get to have their big receptions in their towns and in our town, but we don't want other people's pressures, expectations, and issues on the day we choose to legally begin our lives together.
