help!

I'm looking for the proper wording for our reception cards. This is what we have so far-

The pleasure of your company is requested at the reception following the ceremony

Carlyle on the Green
Home of the 2002 US Open
Bethpage State Park
Long Island, New York
7:00 cocktails

The question is, do we need anything else? Is the wording correct? Thank you for your feedback.

I think your wording is fine. Good luck!

Why include Home of 2002 US Open? I think that Carlyle is a nice enough place to stand on its own reputation. Just my opinion, but it might seem out of place to mention it.

If you and your FH are huge golf fans, then I can see you mentioning the Open but if not, no reason to include it.

Why???

it was my fiance's idea...I have to say yes to some of his ideas, even if I don't agree. Thanks :)

I'm I dunno.. but should it maybe say HOST and not home.. because it isnt where the open usually occurs and also I live in Bethpage and most of the places saying host. My families vacations at Kiawah Island, SC which was the Host to the Ryder Cup a few years back. For example Flushing meadows is the home of the US OPEN tennis wise.. But UTAH was the host to the Olympics.
I think it is silly to put on the response cards kinda but if he likes it that way, then do it!
We put..
Imperial Manor
Bethpage, NY
Cocktails 4:30PM
Dinner and Dancing 5:30pm

( we would have to pay additional for a fifth line with our invite company!!)

.... at the reception following the ceremony
....
....
....
7:00 cocktails

Is the ceremony ending at 7:00? You really do not need both.

The US Open bit is a whole other issue. But I understand your point about your FI's request.
