DW Invite Wording PLEASE HELP!

My Fianance and I are getting married in Las Vegas, we're from NY.  Everyone who wants to come is invited, we understand not everyone can afford to come so we're also having a "marriage Celebration" when we return. I need help with wording the invitaion to let everyone know they're invited but if they can't make it we understand............... Please HELP!!!!!!!!

My appologies, maybe I didn't make myself clear, I am sending out the invitations with RSVP cards, we're going to have a reception after our ceremony in vegas for who ever is coming, we have rooms blocked out at the hotel, and we're going to do something when we come back as well, at a restaurant with a private room which holds up to 140 for a sunday brunch, 2 weeks after we come home. What I need help with is the invitation wording it's self This is what I have and I don't like it that much (format isn't Coming out right sorry)
We Spun the Wheel,
And took a chance;
We hit the jackpot,
With true romance!

  • Oh goodness. I wouldn't go into detail on the invite...

    Just put "regretfully decline" or something of that sort on the response card.

    You should also repost this on the Destination Weddings board, quite a few ladies over there are planning AHR.  When you send out your formal wedding invitations I would include the AHR invite with it but if you want a seperate invite you could word it like this:

     

    BRIDE
    and
    GROOM
    are happy to announce
    their marriage
    on DAY
    YEAR
    CITY, STATE

    Please join them
    for a celebration
    on DAY
    YEAR
    TIME
    LOCATION
    CITY, STATE

  • So everyone who wants to come is welcome to.  That's fine.  You plan on having an At Home Reception when you return, that's fine.

    What do you plan to do if 75 people decide they want to come to Vegas?  What are your plans to entertain them there?  Will those who attend the wedding also be invited to the AHR?

    And, ALL wedding invitations are issued with the understanding that if a guest can't make it, you will understand.  Just word it as a normal wedding invitation and include a response card.

  • I would send out two invites to everyone. One for Vegas & one for the AHR.

    Normal wording for the Vegas invite.Then use something like Pink's example for wording the AHR invite.
