If you are having your reception in a place where you are responsible for clean-up, I don't think it is tacky to have family assist you. I will be enlisting a few reliable friends and family to help out. When my brother got married, he enlisted a few family and friends and people were more than willing to help and everything flowed quite smoothly. People understand the steps that are involved in wedding/reception preparation, I don't think anyone will think it is tacky. I believe people will consider their help a gift to you and your husband.
Delight yourself in The Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart!Ps 37
That is what family is for. Ask for volunteers first and if reaction is slow then ask with flattery. i.e., "Aunt Mae you are so good at organization, could you make sure that all the linens are returned to the caterer's?" You get more with honey than vinegar, ladies.
Is it tacky to have your family assist in the clean up after the reception?

Rosetta,
I'm going to also use your suggestion!!! (Asking with flattery) I have a few family members that are gifted in quite a few areas. Thanks.
