Wedding invitation question...

Question

I am having a very small ceremony before a big reception. It is family only and everyone who is coming knows who they are but my Mom says I need to send invitations to the ceremony to the people who are invited. What do you think? Send them seperately or add them to the "regular" invitations?

Answer 1

Send them anyway, since its only a few people. They'll appreciate it, and then you don't have any issues when the big day arrives. :]

You could probably just add them into the normal invites, too.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Yes, you need two sets of invitations.

The one with the ceremony and reception information.

For the other, with only the reception information, make sure to put "No gifts, please" since those people were excluded from attending the ceremony. This is a must.

Answer 3

Write on the invites small private ceremony please join us afterwards at ............. and the time

Answer 4

Duckie and your mom are right.  Send everyone a reception invitation, and those who are invited to the ceremony only just include a small card with the details on when and where the ceremony is being held.

Good luck!

Answer 5

You main wedding invitation (for everyone only invited to the reception) should be sent to everyone.  For those that are also invited to the ceremony, just include a ceremony insert, including the time, date, and location of the ceremony.

Your mother is right, to avoid potential confusion you must be clear.  Even close family members should be getting invites, anyway.
