Wedding Reception Invitation Wording

Now that you’ve tackled the ever-so-crucial wording of your wedding invitation, it’s on to the wording for the reception.  You have a few options, depending on the type of reception you are holding and when and where the reception will be.

A wedding reception invitation is to meant to make your Guests aware of the pertinent details of your wedding reception; the time and location.  The wording for your reception invitation can be either formal or more casual, depending on the mood of your reception, and can be as simple as adding a line to your wedding invitation.

If your wedding ceremony and reception will be held in the same venue, the wording can easily be added to the bottom of your wedding invitation and state that the reception will immediately follow the wedding ceremony.

If your wedding ceremony and reception venue differ, you may want to consider a separate wedding reception invitation.  Other common reasons for choosing to use a separate wedding reception invitation are when you would like to limit the Guests attending your ceremony to family and close friends or when you’ve had a destination wedding where many could not attend and you are hosting the wedding reception when you return home.

Typically the wording is based on the formality of your reception.  If you are having a formal reception, your wedding reception invitation wording should also be formal in style.  On the flip side, if your reception will be more casual, you will want to keep the wording casual as well.

Whichever route you go, the wedding reception invitation wording should be clear, concise and and detail all of the must have particulars; date, time, venue.
