Hi, I will do my best to explain with clear detail what I am asking.
You site is great. You guys do a wonderful job at answering questions. I have been search for a few hours and haven't found my question.
We are planning on getting married next summer. Both the Ceremony and reception will be held outdoors at the same park, but different shelter houses. We are planing on a small cermoney with close family and friends. The ceremony will be held it the morning.
Then that evening I will have a huge reception with everyone invited.
I understand that two invitation are need one for the ceremony and one for the reception.
The reception is not formal it is more of a open house/picnic.
My parents are helping out with the wedding, his parents are not.
We have relatives that are older and don't know us that well, so I think they would appreciate both our parents names on the reception invite.
We won't be married till that day so we can't use the wording on the invitation for a later date reception
This is what I was thinking
Please join
bride full name
and
Grooms full name
at a reception for the their marriage
Parents of the bride are
and Parents of groom are
please give me suggestion?
I want the guest to understand that it is just a reception.
You don't really have to include your parents' names. But if you wish to, it could be like the wedding invitations where the names of the parents are listed under the couple's names: the daughter of... . That would be less cumbersome.
Please remember that as host you would be providing all of the food and beverages. Guests should not be expected to bring anything besides themselves. And, we usually provide enough food for a meal for evening functions.
