First off I am aware what I am talking about is not considered an actual reception, more of a party, but I am referring to it as a reception anyways.
So we plan on having a small private ceremony in City Hall on Wednesday. We are only inviting our parents and siblings to the ceremony itself and taking them out for dinner that night. I already have the wording down for their invitations but there is another issue. This reception/party we are having is going to be on the Saturday afternoon so we can celebrate with our extended family and friends who could not be invited to the ceremony.
I am confused how I should word them. Online some people say to put "You are invited to celebrate the Marriage of X and X. They were married in a private ceremony on X"... then provide time and place information.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
