     Sending invitations to one wedding, three receptions  

My fiance and I are getting married in Texas, where we both live. My family is from Pennsylvania and my fiance's family is from Argentina. We plan on having a reception following the wedding in Texas, a reception in Pennsylvania and a reception in Argentina. How can we word invitations to let everyone know that they are invited to the wedding all three receptions. We know that many family members will only be able to attend the reception where they live but we do not want to exclude anyone who wants to attend any or all receptions. We may not have dates for the Pennsylvania and Argentina receptions when we send out the invitations. Also should we mention that anyone that comes to multiple receptions do not need to give multiple gifts?

Dear Multiple Receptions,

Please don't mention gifts on or in the invitation. Hopefully guests will know that the gift is for the wedding, not the reception.

You could mention all three receptions on an enclosure with the invitations. Just state that the dates for the other receptions haven't been determined yet. You would have to mail reception invitations out once you have the dates though.

Best wishes,
