Wedding invite social etiquette question
​
Please help settle this debate for me and my partner we are both socially awkward and don't have a lot of friends who aren't family. As such we haven't been invited to a lot of social things like weddings. the ones we have been invited to were not very classy to say the least.
​
We have a friend who we are close enough to be invited to his wedding. But we aren't super close in general. Never been to their house mostly superficial conversations with that sort of thing.its a newer developing friendship. We meet maybe once a month if that. Our friends did send us an invitation to their wedding. There will be a wedding and reception one day that we do plan to attend. Then a dinner the next day.
​
The debate we are having is on the invite it says the next day there will be a dinner to say goodbye before everyone heads back home. ( bride and groom are both from a different state then we currently live so most of thier close guests are from out of town) it sounds to me like the second days event is really just for close family and friends. I dont think we should attend the 2nd days event. My partner however is just excited to be invited and doesn't think they would have put that on the invite if they didn't want us there. I think its on the invite so no one is angry about being left out but we should respectfully decline as it feels like we aren't close enough or long distance.
​
What is the normal proper social etiquette? I'd like to continue developing this friendship and I'm worried if we make it weird or awkward showing up when we weren't supposed to because we missed a social que that it will mess up the friendship.
