Reception Card Wording

mnewman84

A few months ago, i changed my wedding from a friday night to a saturday night reception. My invites originally said 'reception immediately following' - but now there will be a break in between the ceremony and reception.How do you word the reception card? Cocktail hour starting at 6, Reception starting at 7? Or just reception starting at 6:00? I have a lot of time to get this done, but while i'm bored sitting here, i figured i should be doing something productive! Thanks for the ideas!

We said "Please join us for dinner and dancing at..." People will know that there is a cocktail hour first, and if they don't it isn't a big deal. They just need to know where to go and when they should show up.

I put "reception to follow at: The Bridgewater Manor. I gave the address and phone number (just in case someone gets lost) and then put cocktails at 7 o'clock, dinner and dancing at 8 o'clock.
