So glad you found invites you liked! my other brother has been eying those same ones! They are so lovely, and they have them in tons of colors.

Do you need to specify “Civil” ceremony?

I don’t think you need to put the dinner time UNLESS there are people coming to that who are not invited to the ceremony (because desis really only care about the dinner timings ).

is there any harm in putting the name of the hotel on the reception card? Is there any additional charge? Are you having space issues?

lol…yea fiance & I really liked those invites. My reception dress is orange/silver with some white in it…so the color coordinates too.

I don’t need to specify “civil” ceremony…Should it just say “ceremony” or “marriage ceremony”? Are these “better” than “civil”?

Agreed on the dinner time. Also, last night fiance said he doesn’t want “cocktail hour immediately following ceremony” on the ceremony card (no logical explanation behind this).

No spacing issues with the hotel name on the reception card. I just didn’t want to overdo it…lol. It’ll of course be on the ceremony card…do you think I should also include it on the reception card?

Below is the wording for the ceremony card:

“We invite you to be with us
on the occassion of a celebration
of a miracle … love,
when we
bride
and
groom
join together in marriage
on Saturday, the X of April
two thousand and twelve
at five thirty in the afternoon
Hotel X
Address”

** Also, I know the dates/times are spelled out in formal invites (hence the ceremony card). Since the reception is formal too…should I actually spell out the times on there too?
