Could anyone please share what they have put on their reception-only invites? Not sure how to word it, but want to make sure it is clear they are only invited to the evening so there are no embarassing encounters. Thank you!

Check out the website treeofhearts.co.uk which does evening invitations and take the wording from one of their invitations. That's what I did, although I changed it a bit it was good guidance.

I put on that only parents and grandparents were invited to ceremony due to very limited spaces. Anybody that I invited to the ceremony other than stated I spoke to directly :-)

You can buy invitations that say evening reception on them. Don't put anything about the ceremony on them, and also, it'll be obvious that it's an evening only when you have a later start time (since most couples are usually married before 6pm)

We put 'Wedding Invitation' on the invitations for the ceremony at 1:30pm and 'Wedding Celebration' on the ones for the after party starting at 3:00pm through till midnight. All made easier as they are at two different venues.
