I've tried searching for some info but have had no luck. Has anyone included or seen reception info on the main invite?
I typically see "Reception to follow" but we're having an morning ceremony (thanks to a super late start on planning) and an evening reception at a different location. I'd like to save some paper but I have no idea how to word it.
I agree with both posters above. If you have a wedding website you can put the more detailed info on the website. Reception to follow at 7pm, for details visit www.oursite.com
These are good ideas if you want to save the paper. We DIY'ed ours and had a formal invite page, reception page, rsvp page, and map page... It sorta formed a little booklet, but it had everything you could need to know on it.
We wrote food and merriment to follow. As JMA suggested, you could add the time and place (in addition to a link to the website for more details). If you would like to include more info on the actual invite, can you print on the back of the invite? That would keep the amount of paper the same, but get the word out.
Hello hive!
I've tried searching for some info but have had no luck. Has anyone included or seen reception info on the main invite?
I typically see "Reception to follow" but we're having an morning ceremony (thanks to a super late start on planning) and an evening reception at a different location. I'd like to save some paper but I have no idea how to word it.
Can anyone give me some ideas?
TIA!!!

posted by jma19 364 posts 4 months agoYeah, I agree with JMA. We used "Dinner and dancing to follow" -- you could add the time and place.

posted by MsJadey 141 posts 4 months agoWe did the same thing! We just listed the ceremony information, left a space and then said:
Reception at xx time
Reception Location
If you're having a cocktail hour, you could put:
Cocktails at xx time
