| We are getting married by ourselves in St. Thomas and then coming back to have a reception with all of our friends and family. How should we word these invites? Also, we are having a small family only ceremony before the wedding, how should I tell my family about this? Should I put a small card in the family ones only? Please help! Thanks!! |

| What I would do is something like this:Please join us for a wedding receptioncelebrating the marriage ofbrideand groomdateplacetimeetc.then at the bottom, maybe in smaller print, put"Marriage will be solemnized in St. Thomas, USVIon date"Then, print a separate card for the family invite with the info on that. I don't know what you're calling that ceremony, but whatever you're calling it have the invite read something like this:Please join us for a _______(whatever you're calling the ceremony)celebrating the marriage ofbride and groomdatetimeplaceetc. Hope this gives you a good start! |

| I went to a invitation website and looked at their wordings they provided. They offered lots of different options, so just play around online. I just found this website and I hope it helps with some of your questions.http://www.brides.com/weddingstyle/invitations/qa/Congrats! |

| I'm having the same problem. My fiance and I are having a small immediate family only ceremony followed by a big reception. We're wording ours like this:Bridey Bridebrideand Groomy Groomgroomalong with their parents,request the pleasure of your companyat the reception celebrating their weddingon Saturday, the twenty-eighth of February,two thousand and nineThe reception will take place atReception Hall,123 Fake Street,Town, IndianaCocktails and hors d'oeuvres will be servedat five o'clock, followed by dinner at half past six.We're including small cards in the ones for people who are invited to the ceremony too. The biggest thing to remember is to make it VERY clear that they aren't coming to the ceremony, just the reception. Otherwise, they'll show up confused and disappointed. If i were you, i'd have a friend mail out wedding announcements on the actual day of your wedding, so the people you invite to the reception will know beforehand that you already got married. |
