Good? Anything you would change or tweak or add?

Reception cards... a little more lost on this one.

A Reception will be held at
St Patrick's Parish Center
Address
at three o'clock in the afternoon

Please come join us for.....

And then I am not sure. We are doing appetizers, not a full meal. Is heavy appetizers acceptable? And I want to write heavy appetizers and... something along the lines of "fun while we celebrate the happy couple's future together..." What's the best way to say that?

Do I need anything else on the card about the reception? I am going to put our wedding website on the back of it I believe. Directions aren't really needed,  but some will be posted at the ceremony. It is like five minutes away on the same street.

We really are not expecting many out of towners, so no inserts about accomodations, altho I might link to a couple local places on our site just because.

Am I forgetting anything? Thanks in advance!!

    I would say...."Please join us after the ceremony for light refreshments."

  • O, thank you. I like the word refreshments : I was told over on the invites and paper board that it is not appropriate to write things about food on the reception card... I have never heard that. Thoughts from over here please?
  • Yes, "refreshments" works well. 

    IMO, they are pretty brutal over there on that Invites an Paper board.  I was over there as well poking around for ideas on wording.  Girls over there are telling other brides what they can and can not do.  Well, ok, you're not my mom nor the etiquette police and I'm a grown woman!

  • I agree, 'refreshments' will work well for what you want and will look perfectly fine.  I have to agree, this board is a little more accepting of ideas than some of the general forums.  If you're worried about the directions you can put something to the effect of 'For directions and more information please visit our wedding website www.website.com' and then they would know :-)
