Our wedding reception will be hosted at my FILs home, and there is very limited parking. We don't want our guests to have to hunt for parking or even worse, walk blocks to get to the reception, as such, we have rented a parking lot 4 blocks away and have hired a transportation service (ADA compliant) to shuttle people to and from the reception for the entire duration of the party. I am putting the parking information on the detail cards, but I'm not sure how to word it. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

We got married in an urban downtown and our venue didn't have parking. we did all our details on our website rather than on cards/inserts, so we included a map link to the closest public parking lot next door. we wrote: "If you are driving directly to the venue, there is a municipal parking lot next door to [venue name]" and then linked to the map. ETA we also included details on public transportation options, because we knew that some of our guests would be down for that, but obviously that was a know-your-crowd kinda thing.

@Caitlin thanks for the reminder to put it on our website too.
@OliviaP will definitely consider doing so.

Cheers to you for handling this for your guests. The wording authored by Sally is perfection. There's nothing to add to her post but "likes", which I'm just about to do.
