Destination Wedding - Reception Invitations Question

KDCARLINKDCARLIN member
Second Anniversary
in Wedding Invitations & Paper
My fiance and I have decided to go to Cancun to get married with just his best man and my maid of honor. When we return, we plan on having a reception for all of our friends and families. We were wanting to know what would be the best way to word the invitations to our reception (after we return from our wedding that no one was invited to), and when would be the best time to send them out?

Thank you,
Kristen & Justin

    The pleasure of your company is requested at the celebration of the marriage of Kristen and Justin

    or

    You're invited to celebrate the marriage of Kristen and Justin

    (What you're planning is a celebratory party, not a reception.)

    This will not be your wedding reception.  No wedding dress, and no wedding traditions.  You only get one wedding day, and that will be in Cancun.  (Have you checked Mexican laws on marriage?  They can be difficult.) You should send out formal marriage announcements as soon as you are married.  For convenience, you could have them pre-printed and addressed, and trust a relative to mail them from the USA on your wedding day.

    Bride's Full Name
    and
    Groom's Full Name
    announce their marriage
    Date
    Cancun, Mexico

    Then you send out invitations to your party.

    The pleasure of your company is requested

    Bride's Full Name
    and
    Groom's Full Name
    Day, date
    time
    Venue

    City, State

    Along with this, when would be an appropriate timeframe to host a wedding celebration party? Should it be done weeks after the marriage, or is a few months ok? I'm just throwing around ideas on if/when I want to do something myself.

    My sister is doing her celebration 1 week after and, just as above said, she's choosing a sparkly cocktail dress rather than wear her dress again and go through all the same. Basically, it's a really elaborate party as soon as possible after the ceremony.

    You can have a party to celebrate your marriage at any time.  Since it is not a part of your wedding, there is no time limit.  I would suggest sometime in the first six months.
