how do i word the reception card if my reception is not immediately following the cermemony? my church is at 3:30, then cocktail hour starts at 7:30...do i say:
cocktails at seven-thirty in evening
dinner and reception to follow
carlyle on the green
bethpage, new york
any other suggestions as to how to word this?
thanks!
Your wording sounds fine to me.
I have a similiar time frame (church 3:30, reception 6:30), and wrote ~
Please join us for a reception
6:30 in the evening
Flowerfield
etc.
I will answer your question- but first I need to tell you how weird it is to see your name written on a wedding invitation!! I love them!!
Anyway- we had a lot of discussion about the wording on everything!! Our reception starts at 7pm and our ceremony is at 3:30pm. Ours say-
Formal Reception
at seven o'clock in the evening
Meadow Club
then the address
Hope that helps!
