Another Invite Question :)

Arez16

So I plan on ordering those DB invites tonight....

I have a few questions though...

on the reception card do I have to put a time?

Our ceremony is at 2 (I expect it to be 45mins-1hr) Reciving line at church (30-45 mins) and it takes 25-30 mins to get to reception hall, cocktail hour starts at 4...

So if they go to the ceremony...they should be all set. But what if someone just wants to go to the reception...how would they know the time? Word of mouth?

secondly....

on the response card I have

Please join us after the ceremony for

Dinner and Dancing

Country Club

Address

I capitalized Dinner and Dancing bc I saw it that way on invitation sites but I think it looks weird... yes? no?

if it were me, i would put the reception time. not sure if that is standard or not though,

i think capital D's do look kind of funny... but again, thats just me. looking at them together... i would def vote for lower case..

You don't have to put the time, but I would.  I did on mine anyway.  You could do...

Please join us

for dinner and dancing

or even

 Please join us for the Reception

Many options... good luck, but I would also go with lowercase "d"

thanks girls....but I decided to go in a completely different direction since I was going to add the time.... My mother, MOH, FI and I spent an hour on the wording and finally decided on this....

Join us for a reception honoring the new

Cocktails begin at four o'clock in the afternoon

I liked how it was different and not your average reception card. And its little bit fancier. My mom is worried about some of FI's family not dressing for the occasion (as they are known to do). 

I ordered them!! So I can't change it now (actually I can because I will get a proof haha)

SO yay!! CHECK!

I like the second wording you posted.  It's a nice way to mix things up!

The phrase you went with is really nice!

Good call on the formal dinner, I worry my FI's family won't dress for the occasion either.  I also added "adult only reception".  I know it's tacky, I know it's a "no, no" but if one more person complains about their kids not coming I'm going to scream and I worry FI's family is going to bring their children anyway to spite us.

Love the wording though good job!

I like the wording too!

I didn't use Adult Reception bc we're inviting children....there are way too many not too...a lot of people would be able to come because they would have no one to watch their children.
