Wording for a post-wedding reception invitation

It's interesting:
"Charles Dickens said a measure of a woman’s love for her man was the lengths to which she was prepared to go to make him happy. If this holds true, then Linda, you have reached that goal, for Paul is the happiest I have ever seen him."

Finding the right words to tell your friends and family that you eloped can be a challenge, especially if they were looking forward to a ceremony. However, you can still celebrate with a post-wedding reception. Post-wedding receptions can take place days or months after the couple is married. Mail invitations that both announce your joyous news and that provide details on the reception engagement. Tailor your invitation wording to match the tone of your event. If themes will be used in the celebration, incorporate the lingo into the invitation wording.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Choose a theme or style for your reception. This will help you establish a tone for your invitation. For example, a backyard BBQ for your reception will likely be an informal and family-friendly event- therefore, the invitation design and wording should be informal to match the occasion.

   • 2

     Begin your invitation with a quick description of why you are sending the invitation. For example, "We loved our Paris ceremony and want to share our wedding joy with family and friends." This introduction should be no longer than two sentences. Use descriptive adjectives of the wedding event where possible. Since guests were not invited, beginning with descriptive details helps guests feel included in the ceremony event.

   • 3

     Enter the event details including time, date, venue name, venue address and RSVP details. Save rhyming schemes for informal post-wedding invitations. For formal engagements such as seated dinners, use traditional wording such as "Mr. and Mrs. [your last name] request the honor of your presence at [venue name]" to begin your event details.
