we are getting married at the RH - so we dont have a reception card.....my question is.....how do the people who dont want to attend the ceremony know what time to come? like what if they want to come for the reception only?
It would say something like reception immediately following.
well technically its rude for them to only come to the reception- so I wouldnt worry too much about it- and if anyone is gonna do that, they will probably figure an hour after the start time
on the invite we said 'reception immediately following'

You just put Reception Immediately Following at the bottom of the invite and people will figure it out. RH ceremonies are usually fairly short (no more than 30 minutes), most people know that I think.
I put reception to follow at 6pm on the bottom of mine.

At the RH i think it is different, since it directly follows there should be no reason people shouldn't be there EXCEPT in your case ( which i didn't realize) , a during the week wedding where people would need to miss work .
Same with us - we wrote reception immediately to follw on the lower left corner of our invitation - look in my album for a pic. The people who choose to or can not make the ceremony will have to use common sense to say ceremony should be about 1/2 an hour long.

i think putting reception immediatly to follow the bet way to handle it .
