Name & name were married in a private ceremon on "date" at "location". Please join us for a reception in their honour on "date" at "location".

Or something along those lines.

Good luck!

We did not have to worry about the wordings for the wedding reception. Our wedding organiser, Singapore Hokkien Huey Kuen provided us with the wedding invitation cards. I got married in Feb 2008, mine was pretty simple and nice. By the way, I have only known my hubby for 1 yr 3 months 26 days.(since first encounter until now)

I paid for all the wedding expenses, so my last drawn salary of S$1300 pay(only) as a shipping clerk per month was spent mostly on our wedding, held with the Singapore Hokkien Huey Kuen, on the large framed up picture with a bridal shop(which has shifted), on the 2 sets of wardrobe done, and all other expenses. Total, I think I spent close to S$8,000.

Put your names, the date and location you got married - and then the reception information - make sure at the end to put "No gifts, please" since they were not invited to the ceremony.

Call it a Marriage Celebration and use the regular wording.

No need to put that you are already married...most everyone knows, right?
