We are getting married May 2 2015 but i don't want to do a huge wedding celebration followed by the reception. what i want is to go down to city hall and then celebrate with a small party the next day. My question is what can i put on my invitations?

    I'm going to assume you meant May 2, 2015 b/c if not, you missed the boat!   Your invitations should say to come to a celebration of the marriage of Marie & Husband who will be wed in a private ceremony on May 2nd. 

    Please don't tell people how to post. People don't like that. When you ask questions on a public forum, you open yourself up to comments and questions that you may not want or like. 
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    First, telling people how to post isn't very nice.
    Second, you are not having a wedding reception.  A wedding reception takes place on your wedding day.  What you are planning is a party to celebrate your marriage.  No wedding traditions should be observed.

    The pleasure of your company is requested
    to celebrate of the recent marriage of
    Bride's Full Name
    and
    Groom's Full Name
    Day, date
    time o'clock
    Venue
    Address
    City, State

    Some good advice on these threads (when people aren't debating about etiquette) 



    Maggie0829 especially gave great wording: 
    I would send the invite for the party no more then 8 weeks prior.  That is pretty typical for any event.  As for the wording I would do something like the following...

    Karenweil
    and 
    Karenweil's Husband
    are happy to announce
    their marriage
    on Saturday, the nineteenth of July
    Two thousand fourteen
    Gaithersburg, Maryland

    Please join us 
    for a celebration
    on Monday, the sixth of October
    Two thousand fourteen
    at X o'clock

    Venue name
    Venue address

    Or if you decide to send wedding announcements following your wedding in July you could do this...

    Karenweil
    and
    Karenweil's Husband

    Invite you to celebrate their marriage
    Monday, the sixth of October
    Two thousand fourteen
    at X o'clock

    Venue name
    Venue address
