    We're considering a very small (immediate family only) JoP ceremony, but then a bigger reception. I still want to send out STD's and Invites for the reception, but I have no idea how I would word it.

    How can i invite people to a reception without hurting their feelings about not being invited to the ceremony?

    It's fine if it is immediate family only...word it like "we invite you to celebrate with us at a celebration of our marriage" and voila!

    We were going to do this.  I think it's fine.

    We were thinking about doing this as well, I didn't know if it was ok to invite some to the reception but not the ceremony.

    I think it's fine- just play with the wording a little.  You will find tons of examples for invitation wording that is "celebration only""

    I just wasn't sure if I should make mention of the ceremony at all?

    "You're invited to celebrate the marriage of the Flip Flops, at a shindig in their backyard"

    as opposed to

    "You're invited to celebrate with us following our private civil ceremony"

    ??
