INvite wording for brides who had ceremony at reception site..

I am trying to figure out how to word my invite because I am having my ceremony and reception at the TC. Do I just write something on the reception card.....Any info would be helpful

TIA

The invitation said join us for the ceremony... at..... The reception card said 'formal reception immediately following ceremony' You can easily skip the reception card and just have that printed on the bottom of the invite.

We're not doing a reception card- we were advised by the sales person at Lion in the Sun that it was a waste of money b/c our reception is in the same place as our ceremony. Instead, we're writing something like 'reception immediately following ceremony', or 'dinner and dancing immediately following ceremony'...

We are not having a reception card..and we are not putting 'reception immediately following..' on the invitation.
We hope people will be smart enough to figure it out...

We skipped the reception card to save money.
Our invite said
'Eat, Drink and be Merry
Cocktails and reception to follow the ceremony'

Re: INvite wording for brides who had ceremony at reception site..

Formally, you do not need to include a reception card.

Just say something along the lines of 'Reception to follow'

Re: INvite wording for brides who had ceremony at reception site..

We skipped the reception card since there's no need for it. I believe it says 'Reception To Follow' at the bottom of the invitation. I should have them back soon (fingers crossed!) so when I get them I can tell you exactly what we decided on.
