  [QUOTE]Here's the deal...we are inviting around 200 people to the reception, but the wedding (which will be on the same day) will be much more intimate, with only 50 or so people there.  I would like the invitations to just be an invite to the reception and then include an insert with ceremony details for the 50 or so that are invited. Any advice on wording for the reception-only invitations? And maybe a good (inexpensive) place to order from? Any help would be much appreciated!

  Actually, everyone on here is going to tell you that this is a pretty big no-no. "Intimate" ceremonies consist of immediate family ONLY...parents, siblings, grandparents. No aunts, uncles, cousins or friends. 50 is not intimate. This sends the message that everyone else (75% of your guest list)  is special enough to come to the reception (and bring you a gift), but not special enough to see the actual event.  Most people want to go to the weddings to see people get married, not just to eat, drink and dance.Why is it that you are not including everyone in everything?
  
  To answer your question, try Vista Print, they are pretty in expensive.
