I like that one too but my mom (and several others) have said that the celebration isn't continuing, its beginning........so what are they saying........my ceremony isn't a celebration? LOL.

LOL, I had the hardest time narrowing down my wording too!

I used the first one... mine said:

Reception

Please join us for
cocktails, dinner, and dancing
at half past eight in the evening

RH Name
Address
City, State


BUT.... I actually like your second one! I would go with that one!

I'd separate it like this:

The celebration continues with
cocktails, dinner, and dancing
at ___ o'clock in the evening

RH Name
Address
City, State.

I like #2 also, but if you want to compromise with your mom, I've also seen it done this way:

The celebration continues! (centered at the top of the card)

Please join us for ... (everything else underneath)

Not sure how your cards are designed but just an idea!

are you looking for more formal or more fun? IMO the first is more formal, the second a little more fun

I like number two because it is different and the way the wording is unique.

Re: Help! need advice on Reception Card wording

Thanks girls! I decided to go with #2! question: should I keep the 'Join Us' as the caption? or should I use
'Reception' as the caption? what are your thoughts??

TIA!
