Help! - in reading another question posted regarding a time frame, I think I did something dumb.
For our reception cards, I have the verbage:
Please Be Our Guest
For Dinner and Reception.
Dinner Served at Six O’clock
Dancing Eight O’clock until Midnight
I saw this similiar on other reception cards when I was ordering from the printer but I am not sure if this was the best way to explain the time frame.
Any suggestions/thoughts?

Dear I think,
I'm not sure if this is a problem, but are these separate invitations? You really need a date and location on these if some people did not receive wedding invitations. Plus, if the reception is at a different location, well... then you have the same problem for all of your guests, except some will know the date.
If the wedding and reception is in the same location and you have the location written on the reception invitation somewhere, you are fine.
Do you have an RSVP date and address written anywhere? You will need to know how many are attending.

Yes, we did order invitations, reception cards, and respond cards that include all of the date/time/place info. I have included on the reception card the place and address of our reception (I just left that info out in my posting). I was more concerned with the line: Dancing Eight O'clock until Midnight. Is this something tacky to list on the reception card?
In a previous posting it was indicated that a woman wanted to end her reception earlier and that the best way to inform her guests may be by word of mouth rather than on the reception card/invitation.
Thanks for the help!

I am so glad that all of that information was included. Whew! I have not seen your style before, and yes, usually ending times are not listed on invitations, but I don't find yours inappropriate--not traditional or formal, but not inappropriate. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
