Reception card

If you want to keep a formal feel, is it necessary to have a separate reception card or can you just put info at the bottom of invite? My DIY invitation box didn't come with one. I was thinking to word it something like...
BRIDE
and
GROOM
together with their parents
BRIDE'S PARENTS
and
GROOM'S PARENTS
Request the honor of your presence
to share this day of happiness
As we exchange marriage vows
and ask God's blessing over
our new life together
on The Twenty Fourth day of November 2006
at 5:00pm
ST Ann's Parish
ADDRESS
CITY, STAT

Reception to follow:
Villa Lombardis
Address
Holbrook, NY
Cocktail Hour begins
at 7:30pm

I don't think FH and I are going to use the seperate card. I like the idea of it all on one card, I might have to change my invite ideas.

Re: Reception card

I think you should have a separate reception card if you care about being formal. If you don't care about formality, I think your wording is good.
Just an FYI - honor is spelt with a 'u' = honour (just helped my friend with her invites)

Truly I don't think it matters either way! I happen to like the idea of having on the invitation as it is less papers for guests to lose!!

Re: Reception card

I think if it is in a different place you should have a reception card. If the ceremony and reception are in the same place you don't need a separate card.

Re: Reception card

This is my personal opinion, call me callous, I don't care. But I think is it tacky when all the info is on the invitation. If you want to be formal then go the formal way. There are inexpensive ways to make a reception card right on your computer HTH
