Reception cards

I'm a little confused as to how to word the reception cards. Do you have to separate cocktail hour and reception or can you just say: join us for the reception? If you have examples of how you're wording it, that would be helpful too Thanks!

Re: Reception cards

IM with ya I have no clue about it...

Anyway have an answer??

Re: Reception cards

I put:

To help us celebrate,
please join us for the Reception
immediately following the ceremony
and then the address

Re: Reception cards

our reception is at the same location as the ceremony. i am adding a line saying 'merriment to follow.'

Re: Reception cards

but what if the reception isn't immediately following. Are you supposed to separate the cocktail hour time and the reception time?

Re: Reception cards

This is how I did mine:

Please join us for cocktails, dinner, and dancing
at 6 O'Clock in the Evening
'Name of Reception Hall'
'Address of Reception All

thats mine...I was confused too, but pretty happy with the way it came out

Re: Reception cards

i'm getting married at the Church at 5pm and our reception is at 7:30pm at the hall so our reception card says

Reception to follow at
Jericho Terrace
Seven thirty in the evening
Mineola, New York

My invitation lady said you don't need to mention the cocktail hour because everyone should know that the CH is the beginning part of the reception.
