Reception Card Wording

Reception Card Wording

When planning a wedding, many couples host the reception at a different location from the ceremony. In such cases, including a reception card with your invitation is essential to provide guests with the reception’s time and location details. While some invitation designs have room to incorporate this information, most do not, making a reception card a necessary addition.

Reception cards are generally pretty straightforward, containing just the essential information. If you have one, consider adding your wedding website to the bottom of the reception card. Phrasing like “For more information, please visit our wedding website at…” or “For maps, accommodations, and more, please visit our wedding website at…” can guide guests to additional details and updates.

If your ceremony and reception are in the same location, a simple “Reception immediately following the ceremony” or “Cocktails, Dinner and Dancing to follow” at the bottom of the invitation can be used to indicate that.
