Help with invitation wording....?

Question

My fiance and I are having a small wedding ceremony followed by a larger reception. I am in process of ordering my invitations. The larger invitation will invite all the reception and what normally would be the reception card will be the ceremony card and only those being invited to the ceremony will get that card. I'm having a difficult time coming up with the wording on the reception invite. I would like to use the phrase "celebration of vows" but can't seem to make it sound right. Any suggestions???

Answer 1

how about "celebration of togetherness"?

Answer 2

You should only be inviting people to the reception who are also invited to the ceremony. Anything else is very rude. The idea of the reception is for people to celebrate the wedding vows they witnessed earlier!

Answer 3

Miss Jane Doe
and
Mr John Smith
wish to invite you and your esteemed family
to a reception in celebrations of their vows
on Saturday, February 31, 2008
at the Hilton Hotel
1234 Hilton Blvd.
Hiltonville, ST
at 5:00pm

Answer 4

Mr. & Mrs. Jones
request the pleasure of your company
with dinner and dancing as they celebrate the
marriage of their daughter
Jennifer Jones
to
John Smith
on Saturday, te first day of Janurary
at six o'clock in the evening
at Highwaters Country Club
in Los Angeles, CA



somthing that makes it sound a little less formal will give the idea that it is a celebration rather than the actual thing.

Answer 5

How about the same as a "normal" invite?

Mr and Mrs Brides Parents
invite you to join them
as they celebrate the vows
(of holy matrimony)
of their daughter,
Brides Name
to
Groom's Name
at
Place
Time
Address
City, State

Answer 6

Today a celebration of vows
To make it thru the, if, ands and hows
Because today we are joined as one
Forever until our days our done
We make this promise with our rings
No matter what the future brings

Answer 7

Mr. & Mrs. (your first and last names) consider it a priveledge to welcome you to their joyful celebration of vows (day, date, time, and year).
