Reception/Not Wedding
We are planning a very intimate wedding with parents only attending. However, we would like friends to be a a part of our celebration. We are interested in having a cake and punch reception following the short ceremony for 1 .5 hours. Is this okay to ask people to the reception, but not the wedding. If so, how would we word the reception invitation?

Here are some ideas that you can expand on:
To help us celebrate our wedding day bliss, please join us at the reception
Please join our reception to help us celebrate this day of happy beginnings.
With joyful hearts we ask you to be present at our wedding reception
We are looking forward to celebrating with you.
We (bride and groom or parent’s names) invite you to share in the joy of our wedding day by joining us at our wedding reception.

Hi.
Yes, it is acceptable to invite people only to the reception and not the ceremony. In terms of the wording, the reception invitation could read
Mr. And Mrs. Name of Bride’s parents
Request the pleasure of your company
At the wedding reception
For their daughter
Your Name
And
Mr. Groom to be
Saturday the twenty-eight of July
Two thousand and seven
At seven o’clock (or at half after seven o’clock for 7:30pm)
Name of Location
Place
RSVP
Hope this helps. If you need any further information, feel free to email me at divineweddingsandevents@gmail.com
