Please help!
I am having two ceremonies on the same day - a small legal ceremony at the town hall (8 guests), and a much bigger handfasting ceremony (60 guests) later on followed by a reception. The handfasting is the most significant ceremony for myself and partner. But I am concerned about the best way to word invitations a) for those invited to both ceremonies and b) for those only invited to the handfasting ceremony.
Even though the handfasting is more important to us than the legal ceremony, I don't want anyone to feel 'tricked' if we don't mention the legal ceremony?
I'd really appreciate any advice on wording invitation b!

Invitation for the handfasting to all.
"We would like to invite you to join us as we bless our marriage with a handfasting, to be held at X, then afterwards a Reception at x"
Then underneath bullets
- Handfasting, 1pm, X Location
- Reception, 2pm, Y Location
- carriages at 11pm
Then, for those who are coming to the legal ceremony, add a small card (save the date size or business card size) "You are invited to our wedding ceremony, X time at Y location"
