We have decided to have dinner at the church following the ceremony but we do want our guests to also enjoy some cocktails and dancing. We are renting a hall and will have an open bar all night and refreshments. We will start this at 600p and end at 1030p. Now how should I write this in our invitations? Should I put the info of wedding and then dinner reception immediately following and then make a separate invite with the hall info? Or can I squeeze it all together?

    No I said I'm betting that's about who would come. It may be more but it's cool

    It's different but if it's mostly church people then what's the difference between that and a large gathering at a house?

    For most people it's really not that serious. As long as they're fed and it doesn't make them sick. If they have experience cooking for groups that large then I really don't find much issue with it

    Her wedding her choice

    Oh and it's not a potluck. My church provides catering at a fee. They do funerals and other events and most of the time don't even really allow outside catering because of food codes. Maybe cakes or and small stuff for meetings
