Hi! My fiance and I are planning on having two ceremonies, a simple catholic one on the Friday night, and a civil ceremony followed by a reception on Saturday. All guests are invited to both, though the catholic ceremony is optional; we anticipate basically our family and some close friends wanting to come, but we want to let people know in case they're interested. I'm wondering how to phrase that on the invitation. I was thinking about having a details card with both events listed, and for the church ceremony say: "optional catholic church ceremony - we invite you to attend if your schedule and travel permits" but wasn't sure if I should change that, or specify that there will be no reception following the church ceremony? Open to all suggestions! Thanks!
