We're still deciding quite how our day will pan out (date tbc!) but we're thinking of the following:
immediate family to reg office
meal with imediate family at the local pub (maybe. Or might just offer pizza at home!)
meet wedding guests there for a cheeky drink (if they want to, ahead of the reception),
walk to village hall (5-10 mins stroll) for the reception
Thinking reception will start at 3ish with fizz and canapes, followed food at 5 or 6 (although not formal 3 courses), and live music starting about 7.30.
All invitees (with the exception of immediate family)will be invited ot the party/reception and not the reg office.
So, how do we word the invitations in a non-stuffy way! We're planning on using our first names only, no surnames.
"X and X invite you to drink, dance and be merry to celebrate their marriage! 3pm Village Hall, or 2pm in the 'Crossed Keys'"
"X and X are getting married! Join the Party at 3pm at the Village Hall, or 2pm in the Crossed Keys"
"It's time to drink champagne and dance on tables! X and X are getting married! 3pm Village Hall, or from 2pm in the Crossed Keys"
Do any of these work? We're not trying to be down with the kids, the day will be elegant/stylish but fun. Lots of children invited (so not sure how many will actually bother with the pub - that's ok, it's optional, we just though it might be a nice relaxed thing to do, then walk through the park to the reception venue together.
All ideas welcome ? Thank you
