Wedding Invitations & Paper

2 Questions about wording

Hello!

My mom has a coupon for 20% off from a stationary website, so we figured it would be more cost effective to order the Save the Dates and the Invitations together. I have 2 questions then...

#1) My ceremony will be in one town at a church, and my reception will be in another town about 30 minutes away. So on the STDs, do I put the first town or the second town for the location?

#2) Similar question for our invitations. After we have all the traditional wording with our parents' names and our names, do we then put the address and name of just the church? What's a nice way of wording it so they know that the ceremony is at one place, and the reception is at another? All of the sample wording I find just seems to have the name and address of only one venue. 

Thanks!

    [QUOTE]I would put the town where the ceremony is taking place on an STD. You need a separate reception card with the reception time, place and full address.  You do not put "reception to follow" on the invitation if you are using a separate reception card.

    <div>This.  "Reception to follow" means that the reception is at the same venue as the ceremony.  It tells people to stick around.</div>
