I have some questions about my invitations.
I purchased my invitations from Michaels on clearance about 10 years ago. They came with the invitation, RSVP card, RSVP envelope, decorative ribbon, and the invitation envelope. I have decided that I want to print them myself so I can include the relevant information. Since I am only printing one side of the invitation and I don't have a reception card I need to keep it simple.
After our names the following information will be included:
Date and Time of Ceremony
Church Name and Address
Reception to Follow
Reception Venue Name and Address
Our wedding website
Do you think this is the appropriate information? Our ceremony and reception are at different locations. We have a few people that are older and don't have computers so we have to do printed RSVP cards.
Also, my FH thinks that the invitation needs to have the reception start time. The ceremony will end between 3:00 and 3:15. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the reception venue, and the reception begins at 4:00. We will be getting pictures while our guests are enjoying cocktail hour between 4:00 and 5:00. My FH is convinced that our guests will hang out at the church for a while (and be late) or arrive to the reception too early. I think with "reception to follow" our guests will go there and may be a few minutes early, but I wouldn't think that a few minutes early would be that big a deal.
