Welcome Letters For Wedding Guests Etiquette For Separate Wedding And Reception?

Etiquette for separate wedding and reception? - welcome letters for wedding guests

My friend and I always wanted a small wedding on the beach, but then a big party, so as to conserve the best of both worlds, we decided to celebrate the wedding weekend (and only invite family and) close friends, then the taking next weekend (invite all our family and friends). My question is how the word of the invitations? Should I separate invitations for the guests to the wedding and the reception of guests? Should I say a letter or a note explaining why you want a small wedding? All suggestions welcome!

Just send in two different types of invitations. A group for family and close friends, information available for the celebration, and the second input only the information contained therein. To make sure you do not want to send to the wrong people! Take any letter. Threshold is assumed that either a very small party had escaped, and he will agree. The reception is the fun part, anyway!

I make something similar, because the place for small, only the closest family and longtime friends in the ceremony itself, and then with the inclusion for all. However, I am the same day. But I'm just going to send two separate calls for the two groups that have separated my guests. Even on my wedding site for the information of the ceremony, I was just a little note: "Our wedding will be followed by a small celebration for the immediate family, a reception for family and friends."

Invitaion should have not only sent two separate groups of people, but should be worded differently. Guests at the ceremony and the reception is therefore an invitation to the traditional ceremony and reception information. The guests at the reception was to receive an invitation that said something along the lines married __ _ and in a private ceremony, please visit us at a wedding in ______."

You certainly can not have both! It would be different if the people invited to the ceremony, not just the reception, which is nothing to do.

Definitely separate guest! Send wedding invitations to say, "You're invited to the private ceremony," and invite as "a celebration to happen at a later date." Thus, the rumors and more people on the beach, then expected to come must be off the hook to pay the bill for the additional costs for a reception. Send separate calls right away if you marry a listing Aviso. say something like: "You are invited to celebrate the union to" x "and" x ", held on (date).
