How to word a wedding invitation when the reception is somewhere else

word a wedding invitation when the reception is somewhere else?

It's interesting:
"What about the bride then, ladies and gentlemen? How wonderful she looks today. And Paul has scrubbed up quite nicely too – it’s amazing what a flannel and a bar of soap can do. But it’s a bit rude of him to have copied my outfit eh!"

Writing your wedding invitation wording can be tricky since there are so many etiquette rules to follow and important information to convey to your guests, such as where they should be to help celebrate your big day. Guests will need to know ahead of time that the ceremony and reception are at two different places so they can plan their transportation and time accordingly. Make it easy for guests to recognize there are two locations with your invitation wording.

     Use a format and wording that best reflects your personalities, the style and formality of your wedding and conveys who is hosting the wedding. The first part of your invitation should tell guests the "who" of the wedding by including the names of the hosts and bride and groom. For example, an invitation to a formal wedding taking place at a house of worship:

     "Mr. and Mrs. James Robertson

     request the honor of your presence

     at the marriage of their daughter

     Alicia Anne

     to

     Marcus Henry Jones"

     Follow that up with the "when" written out in proper form on the next line. For example:

     "on Saturday, the first of Month

     at five o'clock in the evening"

     List the "where" of the wedding ceremony on the line directly after including the name of the location, street address, city and state. For example:

     "Wedding Chapel Church

     123 Main Street

     City, State"

   • 3

     Skip a line and add the reception information. For example:

     "Reception immediately following the ceremony

     Grand Wedding Hall

     222 Lovers Lane

     City, State"

     Include a separate reception card rather than writing the information in the invitation if it looks too crowded. The reception card would include the date, time, location and address of the reception venue.
