Wedding Reception Invitations

HELP!!!! My fiance and i have decided to elope to reduce the cost of a very expensive wedding, but would like to celebrate with family and friends when we get back. I have decided to make the reception invitations myself and am stummped in how i should word the invitations, in order not to upset family members who expected a full blown church wedding.

I am doing the same thing!!! I have been searching for non-tacky ways of telling my family and inviting people to a small reception after we get back. Here are a few things I have found... I will keep searching for other phrases.. If you want e-mail me at tripka@comcast.net and we can search together... Good luck...
