Welcome Home Reception Invites..


Recommended Posts

We are having a welcome home party / reception on jun 20, a few weeks after we get back. we live in a coastal town, so we are just going to make it a casual southern seafood "low country boil", fried oysters, corn bread, etc. and do it at our house. Show the wedding video for all those who couldnt come to the wedding, and have pics displayed throughout. beer and wine and basic liquor, and a friend hooked us up with a great guy that sings and plays guitar.

So.. how should I word my invitationhuh.gif I want it to be a good balance between a formal wedding invitation and the casual atmosphere we want at the party.

On my reception invite, I wrote:

During a beautiful afternoon ceremony

overlooking the Caribbean Sea

?(your name) and ? (his name)

exchanged marriage vows

on ?(whatever date)

in ?(city), Jamaica

 

To celebrate this joyous occasion

you are invited to a reception (BBQ? whatever)

to honour the newlyweds

on ?(date)

at the ?(location)

 

We put the words on a photo that was taken in Jamaica. So, it wasn't too formal of a card.

 

Hope that helps.

We are doing the same thing...June 20th also!

 

We worded our invites:

 

May 12, 2009

A special day indeed

Two hearts and souls

Joined together on the beach

God was with us, in sun and in sea

So here's announcing the marriage of

Ryan and Stephanie!

 

Ryan and Stephanie were married in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

Please join us to celebrate the

union of these two hearts.

Place

Date

Time

 

We printed them on a photo of a palm tree on the beach during sunset.

 

We are sending them out this weekend so they will arrive on our wedding day (hopefully) :)

 

Good luck and have fun!!

Hi!

We are having a home reception 2 weeks after we get back from Jamaica. SInce we will have to send out invites before we leave to get married, I worded my invites:

(our full names)

On October 10, 2009 will will be married in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

Please join us upon return for a celebratory luncheon.

(date, time, ect)

 

I also liked this wording because we are just having a nice lunch at a private room in a restaraunt. I do not want my greedy relatives to expect a extravagant affair with open bar and dancing. That was one of the things I was trying to avoid by havind a DW in the first place!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
