Offbeat Weddings

Ceremony and Reception on different days

My fiancee and I intend to get married on a Wednesday by a waterfall several hours from where we live.  We than intend to spend a few days in that location, returning that weekend to have a reception near where our families live.  How the heck do I word the reception invites?

  • You could treat it the way those that do Destination Weddings often do, and refer to it as an 'At Home Reception'
  • I agree, just word it so they're aware they're attending a reception and not a wedding. Like, "come celebrate our recent marriage" or something.
  • I agree with PP's

    This, i would not use the word wedding anywhere in the invitation if i could help it. Its just a party to celebrate your marriage, a tradtional reception is to thank guests for coming to the wedding (which is the ceremony with the vows).
