Make Your Wedding Invitations - Wedding Reception Card Wording


You have everything lined up. Your guest list is almost complete and you are now ready to face the wedding invitation challenge. Why not make your wedding invitations. This will allow you to save money and make unique invites that will be all your own. Below you will find information on the wedding reception card wording.

Your wedding reception cards are a big part of your invites.

Here are some wedding reception card wording ideas:

  1. Dinner reception to be held following ceremony: Place: Address

  2. Reception Dinner and Dance: immediately following ceremony: Place: Address

  3. Reception: at six o'clock in the evening: Place: Address: City, State

  4. Cocktails served at five o'clock: Dinner served at six o'clock: Dancing eight until midnight: place: address

  5. Luncheon Reception: immediately following ceremony: Place Address

  6. To help us celebrate,: please join us for the Reception: immediately following the ceremony: Place

  7. Reception: following the ceremony: at the home of: Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Hall: address

As you can see there are various types of receptions. You can use the appropriate wording for the type of reception you will have.

Now, if you are making your wedding invitations, you can add a reception card that would be the same size as the RSVP card. All of your cards should match. If you have a very formal wedding you will probably choose to use a reception card in your invitation set. The rule here is that if your reception is in the same location as the wedding you can put the information on your reception as corner copy.

With the tight budgets that wedding have today, it is common for couples to add the reception information right to the wedding card. This would mean putting this as corner copy. You would simply add a couple extra blank spaces after your wedding information.

In the right corner you would put the information for your reception. This would match the invitation in style and font. This would also hold true if you are using a seal and send wedding invitation.

I hope this helps with what the proper wedding reception card wording should be. The first thing you need to do is determine the type of wedding reception you are choosing to have. A dinner and dance reception can have too much information to put as corner copy.

Having the information separate from the invitation allows the quests to have a card to carry. This will let them know where to go after the wedding ceremony. You will have many guests who will go to the reception but skip the wedding.

If you are making your wedding invitations, again make everything match. You can easily do this and keep in mind that although the reception card does not need an envelope and you can just have a matching flat card cut to put your information on. You do not have to have an expensive folded card for this.

Again, this should give you several options for wedding reception card wording. Enjoy your special day.
