Question My daughter and son-in-law were married a few months ago in a small private
ceremony, with only immediate family. We would like to host gathering for
friends and neighbors to meet the new couple. We are planning a Sunday
afternoon drop-in for about 50 in the fall. What are your suggestions regarding
wording of the invitation and refreshments?
Answer Hi Sara:
If this is not a sit down dinner then hors d oeuvres are fine unless you are hosting this at dinner time. Then you would need a more substantial menu. If you decide on hors d oeuvres only, then you would need about 10 per person. You can choose to serve alcohol or not depending on your desires. I would at least have champagne and sparkling cider on hand for a toast to the newly married couple.
As for the invitation, I suggest something like this:
Please join us as we celebrate the marriage of
Bride's First, Maiden, Last Name
and
Groom's First, Last Name
Date
Time
Location
I hope this helps. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me again.
Happy planning,
