Invite Wording: Ceremony and Reception at Parent's home

EverAfer

I'm helping a friend with her invitation wordings and is kinda stump with the location.

Bride's parents are hosting at their home for ceremony and backyard reception.

Should she just list date, time and address or add something else to indicate that the event is happening at a home vs a venue?

ie, Home of Parents of the Bride

xxx address

And, I am assuming that at long as food and beverages are served afterwards, then it counts as a full reception.

So, adding Reception to follow will be appropriate?  (They'll serve food and beverages but won't do a full program, ie, no first dance, garter toss, or et.) Just food and music.

We just listed the town and said "Dinner and dancing to follow," and then included an insert with the full address, map and parking info.

Food and music is still a reception. Those other things are optional.

The only thing that matters for a reception is food and drink -- the dancing and tossing and whatever else are just fillers and add-ons.

Thanks, that's helpful.
