Save the dates for reception only?

Fireworks WIFE, on February 1, 2013 at 10:50 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3

Hi there, firstly I wanted to thank everyone for the nice comments on my post about my miscarriage and also all the private messages I received, they all mean a lot. We are slowly healing and I think keeping myself busy with wedding planning is going to help keep my occupied.

Both my parents have at least 6 siblings, then add their kids and their kids, aunts uncles, ya know the whole deal, so even just inviting close family members puts us at over 150 people. I am not the type of girl who dreamed of a huge fairytale wedding, and fiancé and I also do not like to dance, so the typical wedding and reception just dont fit for us.

We have to decided to have a little elopement (maybe 10 guests) and then have a reception on the fourth of July. This being a casual grill out/get together, with upwards of 250 people. My question is how do i word save the dates for just a reception? I want to send them out so people don't make other holiday plans, but wording seems tricky. Thanks

    So sorry about your miscarriage but glad you are getting thru it all. Maybe you can put "save the date...for the celebration of our union"?

    I agree with Marline. Save the Date for the Celebration of Our Union. I think it says enough.

    If your save the dates can go out after your wedding, you may consider sending a wedding announcement that also saves the date for the celebration. Otherwise, try something along the lines of...

    (bride & groom) will be wed in a small ceremony in (month)

    please save the date for a celebration of their marriage on....
