Invitation Dilemma

Hi ladies. You were also helpful with my last few questions so here comes another one! We have decided to do separate invites for our wedding. One for those that are welcome at the ceremony and reception and one for those that are welcome at the ceremony only. I understand this is a big no-no but there are some very complex issues with some of my family including some legal issues. Normally I would just remove them all together but due to a lot of pressure from my family, this isn’t an option. Anyone have any experience with this or how to do invites? Thank you!

    I’m doing the same thing, we want a more personally ceremony (10 ppl including us)


    And the rest of his family/friends etc for reception.
    Since we have minimum people at Ceremony I simply got reception invites made and will be making a hand written one for ceremony and putting it into envelopes Smiley smile

    The way I look at this dilemma is by sending out both invitations to guests you want there in one envelope. Guests invited for the wedding only recieve the wedding invite.
    This way there is no confusion and if anyone talks, they can say whatever they want because its not their day. Your doing what you need to and how you need for your day.

    I think Kelsie is right - the best way is to just word it exactly how it is. People will talk - but make sure you are caught in the middle of it on your wedding day! No problems should be brought to the Bride!!

    I think you’d just have invited that say you’re invited to X and Y’s wedding ceremony and then you’d just list the address.


    For those attending both you say you’re invited to X and Y’s wedding ceremony with a reception to follow and provide those details.
    It’ll just be awkward if other people inform the non reception people that there’s a reception after. People might get a little miffed.
