At Home Reception Invite Wording?

RusticGlamour

How did you guys word your At Home Reception invites? I'm really nervous about this- and not offending anyone. We're not having a take-off-to-an-island destination wedding, but we're getting married in the middle of the wilderness - and getting more than 20 people there, and people having the ability to hike the terrain/deal with the altitude is going to be impossible so... it is a destination wedding, but not in the normal sense I suppose. I don't know whether to explain this on the invitations to the at home reception, or if we should just say "please join us in celebrating our recent marriage" but I feel weird saying "our recent marriage" when we won't be married when the invitations go out for the AHR (the AHR will be only a couple days after the wedding).

Help please?

<div>Kimmy, when are you sending the invites out?  I have the same issue.  Like RusticGlamour said, I feel the same way about saying that I am married on the invite when technically, at the time the invites will be received, I will not be married yet.</div>
