Reception Card/Invites


So if at the end of my invites I put reception immediately following ceremony, will guests know that it is at the same location? Or is it better that I do a reception card? I don't want to do more inserts than necessary, but I only have room for 4 inserts but i have 5 headings, rsvp, reception, directions,accomodations, registry and I'm trying to decide which ones, I can go without! Techinically, which information is necessary and which is optional?

Thanks

    I would eliminate the registry card and make it a business size card, if you are doing the pocketfold invite. And I would include a reception card instead, because you never know, people could get confused.

    If the reception is being held in the same place as the ceremony then yes you can put that it immediately follows. If not then include a seperate card that has the info. You are not "supposed" to put the registry card in with the invites. That is supposed to be spread by word of mouth. Have your ladies and family put it out there!

    According to "etiquette", you should never put registry information on the wedding invite.I have received a wedding iinvite that had registry information and I didn't think it was a big deal or think anything of it, but If you're trying to prioritize, then I would get rid of that one. I think "reception immediately ceremony" is clear enough, if not the guests will figure it out on the day of

    If your ceremony & reception are at the same location, putting "reception immediately following ceremony" is fine.

    A wedding invitation I received last week included a small card that had my friend's wedding website and registry information on it. I thought that was fine to do & thinking about doing that as well. I have the info on my website, but people are still asking about my registry. So I think sending a small card with my invites will serve as a reminder for those who viewed my website months ago & will ask again.
