2 Invitations - Destination Ceremony / Hometown Reception

in Wedding Invitations & Paper
I am looking for ideas on doing two invitations. We plan to do a destination ceremony in Hawaii for ONLY close friends / family, then having a hometown reception for everyone. I am looking for help on wording both of them. I'd like the hometown to tactfully explain that we're planning to marry elsewhere but "you're invited to celebrate with us at our reception".

    Your "hometown reception" isn't really a wedding reception since those are meant to thank your guests for attending your ceremony. 

    Your destination/family wedding will be a standard wedding invitation:

    Together with their parents

    &
    kirs10pea's Fiance

    request the pleasure of your company 
    as they are united in marriage
    date 
    time 
    location

    For your celebration:
    Please join us for dinner and cocktails 
    to celebrate the recent marriage of 
    Mrs. and Mr. Newlyweds 

    date
    time
