Invite Wording Question

if your ceremony is at your reception site - then put black tie optional on the invitation - or if both arfter 6

if chrch is before 6 and a good amount of time - put the black tie optional on reception card

Here is how Emily Post feels on the matter:

'Dictating Dress - It is incorrect to put, 'black tie' or 'White tie' on the invitation to the ceremony. If it seems essential to include this directive, it can be added only to the invitation to the reception and is placed in the lower-right hand corner. Avoid writing 'black tie invited' or 'black tie preferred.'

HTH!
