Save the date etiquette

Do you give save the dates to people you are only able to invite to the after party? I have more than enough but want to know proper etiquette.

Give as many as you want out!
If you want them only at the ceremony they still need to save that day right...!

The better way to look at the solution is to know how many do you want to show up for the wedding/reception or one event.

Indian weddings have 3 occasions in total and not all the guests are invited to all. Sime may be on invited to 2 or all along with the sepsonse cards.

My brother got married back in 2000 and had 500 guests for the wedding and reception count was 1000.

Ita how you look at it and cut down if thats the idea.

Agreed! I personally don't find it tasteful to invite people to the after party only, but if it's something you're on board with, I would send a different invite to those people like Vinod said.
Save the dates are typically used to inform those attending the wedding of your wedding date in advance, especially if you're expecting guests from out of province or country.

Following. What if you do the opposite? Wedding, but not reception?

Save the dates are the invited only. For those that will be invited for the after party, make another invitation indicating Reception. This way they know you are not inviting for the wedding. There are invites done to seperate celebrations.

I will be sending mine to anyone I plan on sending a formal invite to! To both ceremony and reception I don't think I have anyone who I'm only inviting to one and not the other. That can be for them to decide!

After party meaning the reception?

If it were me I'd be more likely to send out a separate set of "reception only" invitations, because a save the date doesnt specify and you may end up with people with hurt feelings if they get a save the date without an invite or a lot of crossed paths with people not understanding that they're only invited to the reception and not the ceremony!

I don't know the etiquette but I would send them to anyone you want there for either part. People going to just the after party would still need to make arrangements to be there.
