We're having a small, private (family-only) ceremony on a Friday...and then a big, casual party/reception the following day. Is it weird to put the following wording since our wedding is only happening a day before the reception? I like the idea of it (being casual and fun) but to me, the wording makes it seem like we'll be married at the time the invites are going out and that we're celebrating it way after the fact.
PrettyinPearls23 and FI tied the knot!
Please join us in celebrating our recent marriage with BBQ, drinks and fun!

ADDRESS HERE
I'm planning on having the RSVP cards mentioning something about "No need to bring anything -- come as you are, we'll provide the rest!" This way, guests know we don't want gifts (because it's uber tacky to mention anything...but does this cover it?) and so they know it's a causal affair.
Thoughts? Suggestions? WWYD? I feel like the invite is lacking something...
