Invite wording HELP

We are getting married at our RH...what's the right way to say that the CH starts right after the ceremony or do you have to put the exact time??

TIA

Re: Invite wording HELP

well if it says reception to follow usually that means it will go from ceremony to CH. I think

Re: Invite wording HELP

Re: Invite wording HELP

i have a question....do you have to put reception to follow? i don't have that as of now...do people not assume that there will be a reception?

Re: Invite wording HELP

If you are inviting people directly to a place that is a known 'reception hall' or a restaurant, it's probably assumed that the reception immediately follows, but in general you should specify -- if not on the invitation itself, on a separate card in the invitation.

Our invitations had 'Reception to follow' at the very bottom.

You don't have to say when the cocktail hour starts -- that's part of the reception.
