  could you print some sort of ticket and include it with the invitation with the instructions on it?

  Honestly, I'd probably just make admission tickets. You can do a bunch on one sheet of cardstock and cut them down. I know you don't want to buy anything extra, but if you get 30 or so per sheet, you won't need a ton of paper.
  
  I'm kind of stuck on wording. Maybe some kind of corner copy in a smaller font saying, "Show invitation for entry into Name of Venue" ?? Not sure!

  If security is going to have a guest list anyway, I'm not following why anyone would have to bring their invitation. Have you talked to the site about how they normally handle parties and events there?

  I would take it theme-y is it a movie stars mansion, totally go hollywood theme with glam gown and movie tickets, and the invite could look like a movie poster or playbill, get velvet ropes around the entrance or lining the aisle, luxe fabric draping tables, lots of black gold and red and candlelight.

  tenofcups: The caretaker is the one who mentioned that I should have an officer at the door. No one has ever been married at this place. I feel like a guest list & invites would make it a bit more secure? I dunno, maybe i'm over thinking it.

  
  

  katieanne: it's not a movie star's former home, but a music icon!  >_<

  hmmmm, oh well it could still work if you wanted a theme, but if not, is it your ceremony location? could you and your husband greet people at the door in leiu of a recieving line?

  I think you would be fine with just the guest list.  If the site is so concerned with keeping out crashers, then they'll be the ones taking extra precautions.

  This is a neglected planning bio.

  Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

  katieanne: Yup, ceremony, cocktail hour, & reception will be there.

  
  

  aerin: The location doesn't provide their own security, I have to hire a police officer for the gate entrance. They pretty much just gave me full access to have it there.

  I think we are overthinking it....I think if you put in small print on the invitation "Please bring invitation for admission into the venue." it would be fine.
  
  We put some parking instructions on our info that weren't so correct with "the rules" that said "Please don't park at the funeral home next to the church" and no one said anything or though otherwise.
