Lillian -- Simple wording such as "You are invited to celebrate the Date, Year wedding of Bride and Groom at a post-honeymoon reception on Date, Year at Location" will let the guests know that the wedding has already taken place. You don't even have to mention that the honeymoon has already happened, though many guests may assume that if the reception is a week later. Just be sure the invitations clearly state the wedding ceremony was earlier, or else guests may be confused or disappointed that there is no ceremony at the reception. A common practice, however, is for the couple to have a small vow renewal at the reception, and that may be an option to consider in this cir...stance.

Summer - For such a distant wedding, you can send out the invitations three months in advance to give your guests ample time to plan, but RSVPs shouldn't need to be returned until about a month prior to the event. Even though you're arranging the event overseas, most facilities won't need to know much further in advance to set up dining and other arrangements. Be sure to check with your vendors to see when they need their final numbers, and set your RSVP date at least two weeks earlier than that so you have time to contact guests who haven't responded.

My sister is haveing a wedding about 7 hours away from home... we already know who is going to the wedding itself so no invites are needed for it (only family) but our problem is... how do we word the invites for the reception (a week later) when they come back from the honeymoon? I can't find anything to help me out on the net yet. She wants to mention the wedding but how do we do that without inviting everyone?
