This is 2nd weddings for both me and my fiancée. We are wanting something very simple and informal. We would like to have cake and punch and maybe appetizers after a church ceremony. Then take immediate family (moms, dads, brothers/sisters) and maid of honor and best man out for dinner. How do we word that this is only a cake, punch and appetizers reception?
Thanks,
Lisam

Re: [lisam] Mentioning menu on the wedding invitation

Dear Lisam,
This is appropriate only because you are paying for the dinners of immediate family and attendants--very good.
This wouldn't be mentioned on the invitation. Just schedule your wedding during a time when guests wouldn't be expecting more than a cake and beverage reception. The appetizers would be a surprise. 10 am-11 am and 2 pm-3 pm are perfect times to schedule this. You could even have this anywhere between those times if the event was no more than 2 hours long.
