Who should pay for the second wedding reception?

This is a second wedding for my fiancee and I and we would like a reception for family and friends in my hometown. Everyone is local and we were going to to hors d'ourves and desserts with wine. Should we pick up the tab (or at least offer) or should my parents?

Thank you!

Long gone are the days when the bride's parents paid for the first wedding, nevermind a second wedding. It is your resp;onsibility to host your own wedding. If your parents should offer, then you can choose to accept, or not.

Enjoy.
