About reception cards
It's interesting:"They say that a wedding is a sapling that grows into a mighty tree called marriage . Well ... In a way, the jubilation of today's wedding reminds me of the recent ...""
If you're getting married and the reception will be held at a location different than the wedding ceremony, then invited guests will need a separate reception card. Less formal than the wedding ceremony invitation, a reception card is sent to inform guests of the reception's time and location.
Reception Card Etiquette
A reception card informs guests of the type of celebration, the time and the location. If the ceremony and reception are held in the same place, then a separate reception card is unnecessary. Instead, the wording "Reception immediately following" on the wedding invitation will suffice.
Reception Card Size
The reception card is smaller than the wedding ceremony invitation- the most common size is "A4," meaning 3 1/2 inches by 4 7/8 inches.
Reception Card Wording
Choose less formal, informative wording for reception cards. For example:
"Join us for dinner and dancing at
Taylor Hotel
5 Taylor Avenue
City, State, Zip
Hors d'oeuvres at 6 p.m. Dinner and dancing at 7:30 p.m."
Information to Include
A reception card should include the following information: the type of event, either "Reception immediately following" or the starting time, the reception location, and the full address.
Combine Reception/Response Card
It is permissible to combine the reception and response card. Use the back of the reception card for guests to RSVP. Make sure you provide guests with directions to the reception location.
