Wedding invitation queerie

[mummyloveslucy]

We have recieved a weddind invitation to a wedding thid thursday. It says the time of weddindg is 2pm but it dosn't mention a reception. Does that meen they aren't having one or we're not invited? It is a friend of my husband's wedding and he came to our wedding and reception. My husband said he'd feel awkward asking him, as it would put him on the spot if he had to say "You're just not envited".
What should we do ?

I would imagine that if there isn't anything on the invite then either one of the scenarios is possible!

Why don't you just go and then see what happens?

Not sure, but I would assume it was just the church. I expect you are not the only ones who are confused. Do you know anyone else who is going? Can you ring them and see what has been written on their invitation?

very unusual to be invited to the wedding and not the reception, its usually the other way round. tbh i would imagine you are invited to both, they probably presume that you will come to the ceremony and then just come straight to the reception, i think thats how its usually done. do you know anybody else that is going and can you ask what their invite says?

Usually if you are invited to the Church you are invited to the reception.

You can be invited to just the reception though.

Maybe it was an impulsive wedding plan and they are just having a service? Is it at a registry office?

We went to a wedding a couple of weeks ago and some people were invited to the church and then the evening do. they couldn't afford to have everyone at the afternoon reception. You should really ask.

We recieved the invite months ago but didn't really notice it then. We put it away in a draw and have just got it out to have a look.
It is a registery office wedding. I'll get my husband to phone someone else who's going and see what they say. Our daughter has to be in bed by 6pm, so we need to arrange things really.

They probably aren't expecting you since you haven't replied so I would say no food for you.

Oh bugger not even a coctail sausage??
We did reply by phone.[looks hopefull]

If you replied by phone then I'm sure they are expecting you
I would assume there would be something after the ceremony
what does the invite actually say?

We did reply, months ago by phone. He and his wife to be aren't the formal type really. He didn't reply to our invite at all, we just asumed he was comming as he has bought a suit.

The invite just says You are invited to the wedding of x and x at ........ place and at........time. rsvp

has your husband phoned someone yet?

no, he's still at work.

Queerie?

O.k my spelling is a little abstract. I see it as an art.

Thanks everyone for your advice, even you DirtySexyMummy

No problem

Enjoy the wedding.
