Reception Only Invitation Wording

Reception Only Invitation Wording (Post Wedding)

We've been getting questions lately regarding "reception only" invitation wording. Why is this? Here are a few reasons why couples might need this type of post wedding invitation wording.

• theirs is a destination wedding and the reception is at a later date
• desiring a small, private ceremony--but a large reception immediately afterward or later
• eloping and having the reception at a later date
