Help me proof my confusing Vegas/ Minnesota reception card?

erinkay81

So I am having a reception in Vegas right after the wedding, then an AHR the following weekend.
Does this wording sound okay, or is it confusing. Thought I'd post here and the invite board to see what sort of feedback I get.
TIA!!!
Please join us for cocktails and appetizers at nine o’clock in the evening following our wedding in Las Vegas.
Music and entertainment to follow.
Mandalay Bay Vista Room
3950 Las Vegas Boulevard South

Please join us in Minnesota on July tenth at four o’clock for a reception to celebrate our marriage!
Cocktails and dinner
Saffron Restaurant and Lounge
123 North Third Street
Minneapolis, Minnesota

are you putting these on one card? If so, I would put on separate cards. I aso wuld omit 'following our wedding in Las Vegas' part.  Instead, I would put "cocktail and hourdurves reception following the ceremony'  Guests will get the idea it in las vegas if you put it on the invitation, or even on a separate card.
For the AHR, I would omit the 'please join us in minnesota' part and the exclamation point.  Again, guests can read the address and date and figure out that it's a hometown reception.

Thanks Aegrish! I like your wording way better! So, do you think the cards should both be the larger reception size, or would a business card size be okay? I'm just trying to figure out how this will look best. And should the cards be the exact same style? I have a couple of options with my invite package as far as the designs that all match. Thanks again! So need help in this area!

Thank you, NY!

BTW, I ditto aegrish - keep them separate if possible.  I'm a matchy-matchy person, so I'd probably have the cards look the same.  Also, I love Saffron.  Great choice!

Saffron is my fave! My parents are investors in the restaurant and we basically built it from the ground up as far as renovations! Painting, chair covers, everything. My brother worked there up until a few months ago as a chef, but now works at 112. The Wadi's are very close family friends so Saffron was an easy choice for us. I LOVE hearing that peope in MPLS love it too! Thanks!!

Aww!  That's awesome!  I went there one of the first weeks it was opened and was totally impressed even then!  I am so grateful for diverse food choices in Minneapolis :)
