Help!!!!! Does the reception line come off tacky?

I don't think it's tacky at all, a great way to address an adult night. I did notice that the B is capitalized on beer whereas all other sentences, even those continuing to the next line, are not capitalized unless it is a proper noun. Did you intend to capitalize just Beer and not wine? I'm not sure about Zazzle, but I do not see it as tacky at all

I don't know that it's tacky, but it does come across a little...presumptuous and overeager (the multiple exclamation marks)? "Adult only" conveys your point just fine. Assuming that all of your guests need a date night or need to be told to have one, is unnecessary and doesn't fit the wedding invite vibe. Also the "beer or wine on us" would make me instantly wonder what I might have to pay for at this reception or if it will be limited (beer OR wine). Most guests will assume everything you provide is "on us" without being told that.

All of that said (which I only answered because you asked ), if you can't get the order changed and can't afford to get a reprint, then I guess it's fine.

View Quoted Comment We are only hosting beer and wine, and hard alcohol will be for purchase (we can’t afford a complete open bar) but FH said that we should only convey that on our website and not on the enclosure cards.


Lmao @ multiple exclamation marks - I didn’t even notice I did that!
I can afford to have them reprinted, which is the route I’m going if I can’t get them fixed!

View Quoted Comment Nope totally didn’t mean to capitalize it haha. I was really tired last night when I did these obviously, which is really sad because I’ve been working on them for a few weeks. Lol


Zazzle opens in 15 minutes (9 am PST) wish me luck! 🍀

Date night might come off the wrong way to your single guests or those coming without a date.

I kind of agree with the moms on this one. there is a lot of info on that little card and most guests assume drinks are included. Don’t invite the children and only give them 2 rsvp slots. They’ll get it.

Agree with this.

I don’t care for beer or wine (I prefer liquor but would never judge a couple based on their budget) so I would be hoping there are plenty of nonalcoholic beverages.

I think it's kind of busy with all of that information. I would direct people to your website from the "Adults only reception" line - there you can say that if people want to drink liquor they'll have to pay for it, but beer and wine are on you - I would leave the date night thing off. When H and I go to date night, it's not someone else's event.

Thanks everyone for all the input! I was able to get it corrected through Zazzle and removed the wordiness of the reception line. Put it as “Adult only reception at 6 pm”


Kept everything else as is because I know our guests, and they won’t look at the website.
those who don’t care for beer and wine can choose for nonalcoholic drinks or can purchase their own alcohol. 😊 we ran our drink choices by most of our close family and friends, and ZERO have had an issue with it so yay for us!

View Quoted Comment Yes, that’s exactly what we did in our FAQs for those who actually will go to our website!

View Quoted Comment Thank you for saying this! We were worried people would just but so far, we’ve gotten a pretty good response about it’s OK and people can just not drink if they don’t like or drink the nonalcoholic drinks!

I think adults only is fine, but you can probably limit the wording on this card and refer guests to your wedding website instead.

We used the language "Invited guests only. Please no children." on our website and had no issues.

I wouldn't have all that text there. I think a good way to do it would be on the reply card: "We have reserved 2 seats in your honor." That way they know it's just the adults (and can't write in more)

View Quoted Comment I only wanted to know if the reception line was tacky. I’ve since simplified it and put “adult only reception at 6 pm”


I’m content with the remainder of the details card since it’s a detail card and not an RSVP card. Our RSVPs will be 100% online where we will manage the number of seats allotted per guests.
I needed to have extra detail on the details card since I know my guests won’t read through the website. It’s a win win for me and FH.
