My fiance' and I are just serving cake and punch at our reception due to a very tight budget. I bought invitations really cheap that I can print myself. My question is, has anyone seen examples of invitations that inform guests of a cake and punch only reception? I wanted everyone to know so that they didn't come expecting a meal and they can plan accordingly. Any suggestions on how to word that on the invitation would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Angie and Doug

    We went to a wedding like that last year and I think she either had "Cake and Punch Reception immediately following" or "Dessert Reception".  Either was fine and the reception was over by about 5pm so we went out to dinner afterward.

    We are doing a Church reception like this also.  I just put on the invitations "Church Reception immediately following"  Most "church reception"'s do not include heavy foods.  Our wedding is at 2 so the reception will be done by 5-530.  Timing has a lot to do with it.  What time is your wedding?

    Our wedding is at 2:30 p.m. so that should be perfect. Our reception is in the basement of the church so I think I'll copy yours if you don't mind! Thanks!
