That site has proved very helpful to me on both invitation wording and reception card wording! There's several variations of what to do when you eloped. I think you'll find just what you're looking for!
I think it would be very appropriate for you to wear your dress!

I've always thought that wording a wedding invitation based on who is paying for the wedding is just silly. Who really cares who is paying? Does the fact that some people put their time and effort into the wedding mean less than money that other people might give? I would go with the simple approach. "Your parent's names here are pleased to announce the marriage of their daughter, your name here, to your fiance's name here, son of your fiance's parent's names here." So for example: "Josh and Karen Gray are please to announce the marriage of their daughter, Eva Marie Grey to Michael Timothy Walker, son of Michael James and Alysha Walker and Martha and Jeffrey Todd." Then put the dates and times and the pleasure of your presence stuff. It might not be perfect, but it gets the point across. Besides this wedding is about you and your fiance, not the money.

Lots of people do that. God Bless you and good luck. You could say on the invitations "Joe and Judy have been lovingly joined in marriage on 1/1/01 (you could even put where you got married so people know) and would like to invite you to share their happiness at a reception to be given in their honor on 4/5/06 at ------ (time and place). I think it sounds great! Good luck

You are invited to a reception to celebrate the marriage of ______ and ______ on (date).
If you want to wear your dress, I don't see a reason why you shouldn't/can't. After all, it's your party.

Send out wedding announcements announcing the marriage and details to the reception.

A lot of wedding invitation websites could help you with this. Just look around for the ones that say "destination wedding" and I think you'll find what you're looking for.

just ask them to come and join you in a celebration or your recent marriage to each other...but I wouldnt wear your dress...thats a little odd considering you got married like a month before. unless its a really simple dress...then it would be ok.
