another invitation questionFor the benefit of my mostly non-Jewish guest list, would you put,"Chuppah ceremony at half-past six"or just"Chuppah at half-past six"We are doing a separate insert card that lists the times (and brief descriptions) of the kabbalat panim/tish, ketubah and bedeken ceremonies, saying that they lead up to the chuppahthanks, ladies!

    we were going to put chuppah but decided to just write ceremony since a lot of people would not understand that.

    Chuppah at half after six o'clock No need for a hyphen. "After" is the more traditional phrasing for an invitation.

    You don't even need to put chuppah on your invitation you can just say ceremony so everyone understands. If you guest list has many non-Jews and FI's family isn't that observant, right? That way everyone knows what you mean.

    I'm using "Chuppah ceremony at ..."  We aren't doing a kabbalat panim/tish, so I wanted to add chuppah to give the invite a bit more flavor (and I like how it looks).  ;)Incidentally, "after" or "half past" are both acceptable - so it's up to you.
