Invitations for 2 events/wording

We are having a small (25-30 person) ceremony at a restaurant, and are having a party for our friends/family friends 2 weeks after when we get back from our honeymoon. I have some questions regarding what people think about invitations!

Do we need to mail out invitations out for the ceremony if it is just aunts/uncles/grandparents?

Any advice on how to phrase the invitations to the party since we will have been married 2 weeks earlier?

And on the same note, does having a wedding website (for the party I'm thinking?) make sense?

1. Yes I would definitely send out invitations so they have all the information
2. Isabella and FS will be married on wedding date. Join us to celebrate on celebration date.
3. I wouldn’t have a website for just the party.

2.)Bride and Groom

on date
Please join us in celebration

on date, time, venue
3.) Totally fine to have a website.

We ordered 2 similar sets of invitations - they looked basically identical, except one specified details for the wedding ceremony itself, and the other mentioned that we "will be married in a private ceremony" ... "they request the pleasure of your company at their reception"
So, that might be an option as well - just make sure you don't mix the two up
I think the website is definitely reasonable, as you're still providing information that would be useful for those attending the reception.. and you could even add a few wedding pictures in, if you have a quick turnaround from your photographer!

1. I would, this seems like enough people that invitations would make sense.
2. I would send two separate invites. To the 20+ people invited to both, just put both invites in the envelope. It's two separate events so I'd treat it as such. I would just phrase it as a wedding reception!
3. I think so, I'm sure people will want to see your registry & more information. It would be a nice place to post pictures from the ceremony for those not invited so they can see. If you have out of town guests, a hotel block would be nice too.
