I don't think it's worth worrying about. Your guests will see the added reception card and understand that the reception is at another location. I think as brides we get caught up in these little details, but guests would never think twice about it.
I wouldnt bother. And I didnt even realize that was what 'reception to follow' implied!! I just thought that was telling people that there is an reception afterwards also.
I think they're fine! I wouldn't assume it was in the same place!
If anyone doesn't catch on you can always have the officiant make an announcement after or before the ceremony.
But I do think people will figure it out.
Oh I didn't realize "reception to follow" implied that the reception was at the same location as the ceremony. Don't bother getting new invitations, I think it'll be fine.
Thanks everyone! You've just helped me relax and not worry about a minor detail :)

I think I made an etiquette faux pas and need to know what to do. On my invitations I wrote at the bottom "reception to follow." I included that because I was using an invitation guide to help with my wording and that's what they put. After I hit order and purchased my invitations, I realized that "reception to follow" is typically used when the ceremony and reception are at the same location. My reception will be about a 5 minute drive from the ceremony. I am already ordering reception cards with the address on them, but do I need to reorder invitations without the "reception to follow" line? I don't want to confuse my guests or make it obvious that I don't know my wedding invitation etiquette.
