Invite wording and byob

Where are. Your guest getting ready for a formal reciption? I do not think I would bring a formal dress camping or to a camp site with me. It could rip or get stained and making walking hard.

I can’t imagine wearing formalwear to a wedding in the woods at someone’s house where I’ll be camping after. As far as the byob thing, I’d assume I needed to bring my own for after the wedding.

I think it would just be best to create a separate insert for your invites letting people know accommodations (aka camping available). I don't think you really need to tell people you won't provide booze after the wedding because at least in my head its a given that you wouldn't provide anything past the actual wedding. I'm also assuming they need to bring their own food.

What I would do is put an insert card letting guests know accommodations on site are available with your website on the bottom and then put all of the info on your wedding website.

I agree. There are far too many details to simply include a brief description on your invites. Definitely include a separate insert delineating the exact details on the ceremony and reception.

Agree with this.

What makes you say that your wedding is formal? Like what parts of it?

I would just include an "accommodations" card and talk about the camping area as one option. I'd also consider setting up a complimentary block at another local hotel. I would assume people would bring their own food & alcohol if they camped.

We are providing food at the wedding. I mean formal in the sense it’s not casual, no jeans or sweats. I will be wearing a traditional dress, the bridesmaids will be in dresses. The guys will also be dressed up. We are in th middle of no where, closest hotel is 45 away and I felt uneasy have the wedding further away and them drinking then driving, if they didn’t get a room. It’s more so no one has to drive if they want to drink.

Does the camping site have showers & restrooms? Is it tent camping or cabins?

Yes. People will bring their own if they are camping.
I would do something like “We have sites available if you’d like to set up camp for the night/weekend. Please feel free to bring a bottle to share for the after parties!”

I like what the PP said also about include it on the accommodation card.
