A wedding ceremony is an event where a couple becomes officially married and typically features the exchanging of vows. The wedding reception usually follows the ceremony and serves as a celebration, featuring food, drinks, music, and dancing for guests to enjoy.

You don't necessarily need separate invitations for these two events, but the answer might vary based on your specific needs. For example, if you are planning on hosting a small and intimate ceremony with only family and close friends, you will want a separate invitation for the ceremony specifically. You can have an additional invitation for your reception that goes out to a wider group of guests. This way nobody feels left out of the more private portion of your celebration.

Even if everyone who is invited to the reception is also invited to the ceremony, you should feel free to make separate invitations if you have a specific design in mind based on the style of each event. Or, you can easily include the reception details on the same invitation you use for the ceremony event.

Yes! The time listed on the actual invitation is most often the time that the ceremony will start.

There is sometimes confusion over whether the time listed on a wedding invite is the ceremony time or the arrival time. If you are worried about your guests being late, you can use the details section of your Evite Wedding Invitation to add a note that says something like "Please plan to arrive at [insert your ideal time range here]" to indicate that guests should get there early so the flow of events stays on track.

If all of the guests who are at your wedding ceremony will be invited to the reception, then you should include the reception details on the invitation! This makes it easy for guests to find all of your event information in one place.

Start with the most important details. Your digital wedding ceremony invitation should feature the couple's full names front and center. You also want to include the date, time, and location of the ceremony.

Next, include information on when guests should RSVP, as well as a link to your registry so that all of the necessary information is gathered in one place.

Evite allows you to add additional information so you can include helpful notes about dress code, parking instructions, directions, or reception information.

Save the Dates should be sent out about 4 to 6 months before the wedding. Keep in mind, if you are having a destination event, you will want to send them even earlier to give guests ample time to plan proper accommodations.

We recommend sending out your formal wedding invitations about 6 to 8 weeks before your big day.

If the event is a destination wedding and you are not sending Save the Dates, then you should send your invitations even further in advance.

It is helpful to have separate invitations for each of your wedding-related events! In addition to your wedding ceremony invite and your wedding reception invitations, you can use Evite to find something for every theme or style, whether you're hosting an engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party, or bachelor party.
