Invitation wording for a PRE-wedding send off party

[dawnmichelle]

Hi Ladies,

 

I am having the hardest time wording these invitations so that everyone knows that this IS the AHR and not just another engage. party or shower.  Any ideas?????

Why not just say that -

 

Sorry you can't join us in "Tropical Place", but you haven't missed the celebration, Please join us on "Day" at "Place" for our reception (Or call it at home reception). 

 

I'd also do a search of the forums, I'm sure this question has likely been answered and other people have posted their at home reception invites.

I was thinking of calling it "Celebration of your marriage or wedding"
