AboutGary & Teri Expertise My main specialties are invitations, catering, and banquet locations or in general, wedding receptions. Started as a family business over 75 years ago I now own and operate a catering & banquet facility for over 30 years and have catered small cookout events to large formal ones with everything in between. I even had an event that was attended by the President of the United States. I have been involved with over three thousand weddings and have been told that I have seen and done it all. I must reply almost, because something new always pops up.
Experience I have preformed almost every service needed at a reception from invitations, hosting and catering the event to photographing, dj and honeymoon plans with the latter being special circumstances. I have worked and hosted weddings up to 750 guest and other functions up to two thousand. With well over 30 years experiance of consulting with brides I have seen much of what works and does not.
I have also been involved with many business and orginizational functions and also have been listed in "Who's Who" business and executive edition.
Question My Fiance and I are getting married in Maui. We are having a reception locally for all that could not attend. How would we word it?
Answer Hi Reanne, I take it that you are really inviting everyone to the wedding but know that on one will come so the reception will be local. For this just write the invitation as any other wedding invitation. Fill in all the data for the wedding and on the reception card give the info for the reception.
An invitation generally invites guest to the wedding. The reception card invites them to the reception and RSVP is to see how many are planning to come to the reception.
If however, you just want to get married and invite guest to the reception, this would be different. The invitation will state about your recent wedding and invite guest to the reception.
example
In honor of their recent wedding
Reanne
& Groom
invite you to a reception
at location
time etc.
