reception information on invite?

Is your reception at the same location as the ceremony? Or if you're doing ceremony programs you can print the reception info in there.

Oh but to answer initial question, mine read "Reception following ceremony". I've also seen Reception Immediately Following Ceremony.

The problem becomes, you already have the church info on the invitation. So if you also include the reception info, it COULD become a bit cluttered. But it depends on what size your invitations are.

Well, the reception and the ceremony are at two different locations. I REALLY don't want to put all the reception information on the invitation because I think it'll look cluttered (like you were thinking). If I simply put "reception following ceremony", do you think people will be smart enough to ask other people at the wedding where the reception is if they don't already know? But putting the reception information on the programs is a good idea. If I put the reception information on the program, do you think I still need to put "reception following ceremony" on the invite?

Yes you still need to put it b/c otherwise people won't know whether or not you're having one. the other thing is, it will prevent people from skipping the ceremony and then showing up to the reception for a free meal. If you decide to go the route of including it in the program, you'll probably need to provide driving directions from ceremony to reception site. although most people have gps now, not everyone does.

Thank you for your help!

You can have another card the same size as an rsvp card with the reception information.

The formal way to do it is to have a reception card created that is separate from all of the other cards. If you are doing a pocket fold card I would recommend you ask your designer to create a separate card that can be seen separtately from the rsvp!

Good luck!

Well, I've already received my RSVP cards in & I didn't put the information on there. I might just add the info to the program.

I got a seperate card with the location and time of the reception. So there is the invite, the reception card and the response card.

My reception info is on the RSVP card (we're doing online and phone in rsvps)

I was just talking to my mom about this the other day. She told me to put the reception info on the invitation. She showed me her invitation and showed me how hers was written on there. It didn't look too bad. But maybe I could do it on the RSVP card I am trying to save in as many ways as I can.
