Which date should I put on the wedding favors? The day we actually get married and have the ceremony? Or the day that we have the recetption? Personally I would like to put the date of the ceremony, but would that be rude? Would it confuse people?

Put the date of the ceremony, it is when you two become one, if you want you don't even have to put a date, but personally I would put the date of the ceremony because to me that's the day that matters, of course its nice celebrating with your family and friends but the union of both of you is what matters most.

Put the actual date you got married on everything. It won't confuse anyone, because that is the day you're celebrating about. If you are worried that people may feel like they were slighted because they didn't get to go to the wedding or that this is rude, I recommend running the video of your ceremony during the reception. You can just set up a TV in one area and anyone who wants to can go watch it and feel like they were a part of your big day.

You put your wedding date, most people will already know you went to Hawaii. Hopefully the others will figure out they didn't just go to a church and witness the ceremony. ;-)
I have been to a reception like this and everyone knew except a few older people and you would hear them ask someone but it was only 1 or 2.

You should put on the date you got married. This way, people will always remember the day you actually got married, and not be late with anniversary cards!
This is what I am planning on doing- my fiancee and I are talking about having our ceremony in St. Thomas and the reception back home in Chicago.

Nah, put the date you got married. That is after all the day you are celebarting post-facto. It won't confuse people at all I don't think. I would understand. Plus if I were getting a favor that said the date of the reception I would be more likely to forget when your actual anniversary was.

On the bottom of your invitation write the ceremony date, something like married and then the date. Your reception date should be on the invitation also. Congratulations!!!!
We had two different receptions, one where I lived and the other where my husband lived. We had a lot of fun.

You can actually avoid the confusion all together by putting on a message and avoid dates. Sometimes people would put their names on the favors and then add a saying e.g. "Just the beginning of a beautiful fairytale." I don't know if you would want to do that, but the important part is the union of you two. The date may or maynot be remembered but the saying will stick with them. Good luck!

Usually you would send out a wedding announcement, not an invitation in this case. You would announce the wedding and the date and send an invitation to the reception. Send them together so that people will realize that you are already married, but are inviting them to still celebrate with you at the reception.

Definately the day of the ceremony, thats the date that matters. No one should get confused, they will all know that you were married that day

The date you get married, and that way people know when your wedding anniversary is not the anniversary of the reception
