Invite wording for Backyard Wedding

HorseBeforeTheCart

My FI and I have been living together for 5 years and have a 5 month old son together. We are finally having our wedding and reception in our large backyard and are paying for everything ourselves. It is a semi formal event with lots of funny touches.

I am stumped as to how to word the invites. All the traditional wording doesn't match our personalities or situation. Pus I don't know how to list the location. Should I just say "their home at....." I am just really stumped as to where to start.

Any advice you all have would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

As for location, you should enter your address. You don't have to be specific about backyard, home, house, casa...if you don't want to.

Please join us for our wedding reception at _____sounds sufficient to me.
If you don't want it formal at all, you can try a fun invite, see this link for ideas:  http://www.announcingit.com/main/product.asp?catid=473&pid=493

I had a semi-formal backyard wedding and I used: "Our Home"  You can see the invite in my bio under paper.  I let the "fun" come out in the design, the colors and kept it personal by just using our first names and not our last names.  Honestly, I would keep the wording fairly standard and get creative and fun in other ways.
