Sending Wedding Invitations: Ceremony abroad, reception in US
We are planning a wedding in Korea in only a few months (yes, I know we are running late). We have assumed not a lot of people are coming, but we have not formally invited them all. On our US reception invitation (happening about a month after the Korean reception) we aren't sure how to mention the Korean wedding without obligating guests to attend but, at the same time, giving them the window of opportunity to attend if they so choose.
Please help!

Dear Drocpdp,
If you want people to attend your wedding, you would send wedding invitations to them. You could include a separate home town reception invitation in the envelope. The guest decides which event (s) he or she wishes to attend. It really doesn't obigate anyone.
If you only want to invite guests to the home town reception, send the invitation about 8 weeks before the event. This will probably be before the wedding. But, you don't have to mention the wedding at all. Guests will know that you will be married by the date of your reception. It really is fairly easy. But, when you're planning a wedding like yours, it must seem a bit overwhelming.
