Advice needed: Proper wording for at home reception std

I'm wondering why the need for a save the date for an at home reception so soon? Or why one is required. Is this the way of informing them they are not invited to the wedding.

The website I got the idea from mentioned:

If someone who’s not invited to the Jamaica wedding gets wind that your friend is getting married but they didn’t get a save-the-date or invitation in the mail, they could get upset thinking that they’re not invited to the wedding at all. But if they get a save-the-date to the home reception, then they’ll know it’s the destination wedding they’re not invited to, which in most cases is perfectly understandable since destination weddings tend to be more intimate in nature with family and close friends.

Is this wrong?

I wonder if instead of sharing about the details of the wedding that they may not be invited to, maybe you could say "Please join us for a celebration of marriage at our home (insert address and date)"

Agree with @almostmrsa

Makes sense @almostmrsa. So should I just not send the std?

You could still send an std, just don't say that you're going to have an intimate ceremony in Jamaica. So it would say

"Save the date for a celebration of marriage (where and when)"

Don't mention the wedding in Jamaica.

And don't send STD's. See the other posts about this.

I agree with almostmrs once again on this one, you run the risk of offending someone who maybe would want to come and not understand that it is immediate family only

I would just send a regular invite mentioning the celebration of marriage only. No need to reference Jamaica

Yes, instead of a STD I would just do an invitation to the celebration after you tie the knot! It seems like more of a party/celebration so an invite is all that's necessary in my opinion.

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks ladies
