Invitation/ rsvp wording

I don’t know how you’d word the social media part to be honest but for the other one I did that and I just basically asked them to check which event they’re going to or both. “Ceremony only” “reception only” or “both ceremony and reception”


In my culture it’s common a lot of people don’t go to Ceremony

Hi Rosa!

You can actually add a separate card that specifies your request to not be posted on social media and can say something like "Due to the intimacy of our event, we humbly request that no one posts any photos or videos on social media until after the event is over. Thank you!"

And on your RSVP you can say something like "Please Respond by (date). Make sure to have Ceremony, Reception and Both on there as options. You can either have them circle their option or you can provide a check box next to each option. I hope that helps. Good luck and happy planning!

I wouldn’t mention the no social media thing on the invitation because people are going to completely forget in the 2ish months between receiving the invite and attending the wedding. Have a sign at the ceremony and/or ask your officiant to make an announcement. You could also mention it on your wedding website.


You should assume that everyone will attend the entire event. You don’t really need a head count for the ceremony anyway since you aren’t being charged per guest.

There are a ton of different "unplugged" ceremony signs on Etsy. I'm sure you can contact one of the sellers to edit it to say unplugged ceremony and reception.
