Secret reception location

Harmonie aka "Wedding Ninja", on July 13, 2017 at 11:41 AM

Posted in Etiquette and Advice 127

HI! So, I need some advice as to how to word invite that the location for ceremony is listed but reception to follow at location to be disclosed afterward in a more warm way!

    This would drive me crazy. I like to know my plans well in advance so unless you were immediate family or closest friend ever I'd probably opt out.

    This would really annoy me as a guest. Why would the reception location need to be a secret?

    I have so many questions...

    I'm someone who needs to know things, I don't like last minute random surprises. Do you not know where your reception is going to be yet? Is your reception going to happen another day? This just doesn't make any sense to me, OP.

    Please consider the particular needs of some of your guests. If you have any guests with limited mobility or who use wheelchairs, I can personally tell you that a lot of those guests won't rely on the accessibility information you as an able-bodied person have gathered (apologies if my assumption here is incorrect, I do not have a way to know. My father is in a wheelchair and he almost always personally calls the venue as soon as he receives an invitation to discuss wheelchair accessibility in a more detailed way than an able-bodied person would think to. While this may be a limited portion of your guest list, this ability to verify is pretty critical to their quality of life and certainly to their enjoyment of your event. So yeah, that's a no from me.

    Just tacking on another no. What is honestly the point of doing this?

    Someone on a Facebook wedding group did this. They sent out invites with no address to the reception and would not give it out unless people RSVP'd yes. I really hope this isn't the case

    What? Why? What does "in a more warm way" means? Is the reception somewhere odd? ...sorry I have so many questions about this!

    Maybe she thinks her thread is a secret location and can't figure out how to get back to it?

    The only reason I could fathom for someone to do this is if they have some kind of surprise for their guests and the location would give away the surprise. But that still seems like a bad idea because as a guest I would want to be prepared. Really curious as to why you want to do this, OP.
