Reception Card Wording

Tips & Notes for your Reception Card

· Feel free to mix and match any of the above wording and browse images on the to see real couples’ Reception cards and you will find verse templates further below that you can copy and paste if needed.

· If your ceremony and reception are at the SAME location, you may not have ordered a reception card or need one. You simply need to just put “Reception to Follow” on the bottom of your main invitation card.

· If your reception is a different location than the ceremony, you typically will need a separate card to tell guests the time and location of the reception. It is more formal to only have that information on it, however, you can also combine your reception card with other details. You can add hotel information, or simply just your website so that you do not need an additional details or hotel card. There are some images in the gallery of both.
