More invite wording help - I know, I know....boooring

So I have to send my invites to print pretty early because it is cheaper to run our STD's and invites at the same time for our printer.

That said I am working on the wording. Our ceremony and reception are taking place at the home of my sister and immediately follow one another. My invites aren't formal-formal. Does this sound weird?

Cocktails, dinner and dancing will immediately follow the ceremony
all at the home of Elvis and Priscilla Presley
9 Burning Love Drive
Graceland, NY

its the 'all at the home' part that gets me. Sounds bizarre. I want people to get that its a one stop affair. And I don't want a 'reception' card, so this is going to be on the invite itself.

also, if I include the 'son of mr and mrs so and so' and 'daughter of' is there another way to include my deceased father rather than 'the late' because for some reason that sounds morbid to me. Actually, deceased sounds morbid to me too.

TIA !

My FMIL elected to have the invitation reads as:

'Mrs. Frank C. LALA, Jr.'

in order to reflect my FH's father.


As for the reception wording, I like that it says home and the first line is the same as mine....so yes, I think it sounds great!

For your father, maybe
'And in loving memory of [your father's name]'
