Our wedding reception will take place three hours after to the ceremony in a separate location – do I need to order a separate reception invitation?
There would be no need to order two separate invitations for the ceremony and reception. A separate reception invitation would only be necessary if the reception is taking place several days, weeks or months after the ceremony, making it a completely different event. For your situation, you can do one of two things: Either: You can include the reception information on your invitation. The last 3 lines of the invitation wording could read: Reception to follow at seven o’clock in the evening Four Seasons Hotel 123 Main Street Or: You could order an enclosure card which would be included in the envelope with your invitation. All the information pertaining to the reception (time, venue, address, etc) would be included on the enclosure card.
