Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

It is sunnah to have the walima after the husband and wife meet for the first time. Walima is sunnah and should be carried out the sunnah way. There is no need to have an elaborate meal. Whatever one can afford at that time may be presented to whoever is present. At times the walima of Rasulullah (SAW) was only wheat and dates. There is barakah in following the sunnah of Rasulullah.

And Allah knows best

Wassalam
