alternative seating invite question

So if you're having the reception immediately following the ceremony in the same venue, do you still say "reception to follow" in the invite?  We're doing a sit-down at tables sort of style ceremony, not in a church, and I don't like the whole idea, but this is what we're going with and I want to make it right on the invites at least.  Any thoughts?

  • We are doing this exact same thing as well.  At the bottom of the invitation I wrote "Reception immediately following at the Bertolin Barn"  (which happens to be the same address listed as the ceremony site.  Pic in Bio under Photo galleries- All Things Paper for an example.  I am also having our officiant make an announcement after the recessional- She will say something like "Please feel free to mingle amongst yourselves and enjoy cocktail hour until dinner is served,".etc.  GL!
