How do we tell guests the location/time of our reception if our invitation kit didnt include reception cards?

Question

We have 1 card. So, we can either use that as the response card (telling us what they want to eat) or we can use it as the reception card (telling them when and where the reception is). I know that we need response cards to know who is coming and what they want to eat but how to we include the reception info? I dont want to put it on the response card because they will be sending that back to us so they won't have it for reference....see what I am saying? How can I word it on the main invite?

Answer 1

You can have it printed on the actual invitation, rather than on seperate cards. If the reception is a different event and different people willbe invited to each event, then you'll need announcements with the the reception time on them. Invitations go to those invited to the ceremony and, in this case, you'd send the announcements (which would include an invite to the reception) to the other guests.

Answer 2

There are a number of ways to handle this. You can:

1. Get some white card stock from your local office supply store and make your own reception cards

2. Have the officiant announce the location at the very end of the ceremony (that would assure that everyone attending were made aware of the location).

3. Make a wedding website
Here are a few places that do it for free....

http://www.ewedding.com/

4. You can have the bottom of your invitation say "Reception to follow at

Answer 3

My kit blanketed the invitation and thanks card. properly, I figured, if i'm inviting them to the marriage and the reception, why no longer basically placed the position of the reception on the marriage invitation. I placed, with a reception to persist with at regardless of time at regardless of position.. till you've some travelers that are invited to the marriage yet no longer the reception. Then do basically the invitation to the marriage for the form of travelers basically invited to wedding ceremony. Then reformat and upload the reception invitation on and print some thing else. As for informing the centred visitor as to what the menu concepts are, bypass on your interior of reach craft shop and purchase some outstanding paper on your wedding ceremony coloration scheme and print the menu alternatives.

Answer 4

If your reception is just after the wedding, you can say, "Reception to follow" on the invite. If it is a couple hours later, you can just buy some cardstock from where you normally buy computer paper and make your own reception cards! Use a nice font, and type, "Please join us for a reception at 7 pm in the Hilton Hotel Ballroom." (Or whatever suits your needs, of course.)

Answer 5

Just to let you know it is very important to have reception cards, how do you know what each person would like to eat?

I guess you now have to call everyone to make sure that they know when and where and if you don't get a hold of them you have to now trouble yourself with getting the answers by calling back. Forget about email...

You should have spent that extra 25 cents to get each reception card to be filled out by your guests. You can't make mistakes when it comes to your wedding.

Answer 6

You put on the invitations

It is with joy that we invite you to share in a celebration of love as we exchange our marriage vows on the (ex:) 13th of August 2006
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

Then Put The Location of Reception after that

Then Put

Reception Immediately Following

Answer 7

If the invitations haven't gone out yet, you could include a separate card. There are plenty of beautiful paper options at office supply stores you could customize and add to let your guests know. You could also set up a wedding website (www.theknot.com) and then send an e-mail to let guests know of a place they can communicate and stay up-to-date on wedding information.
