What are reception cards? A lot of people still wonder what these cards are for. Today, wedding invitations are composed of so many cards that they seem to be more on kits then just the common folded invite. Reception invites or cards are the cards that brides and groom and wedding organizers use to disseminate information about the reception. All the important facts are placed inside this card, and this has just become popular over the recent years. This means that there really is no formal format that invitation makers, wedding celebrants and wedding organizers follow to make them. They can look like anything the wedding celebrants want them to look like.

The contents of these reception cards mainly revolve around the details of the reception. The most important information that needs to be printed on these reception cards is when the reception is happening, where it will happen, what time it will start and what the dress code is like. These cards are pretty useful when it comes to shearing need-to-know information to wedding guests. For example, you plan to have a masquerade themed wedding, and you want your guests to come with masks on. You can inform you guests by printing, "Please come to the reception with a ball mask as to help us celebrate this beautiful night in mystery". Think of it as asking your guests to play along with the theme so that they can enjoy it more and you get your dream wedding.

Besides helping guests know more about the wedding, these reception cards also help saving money. Let’s say that you don’t want your guests to bring along their kids to the reception so that they don’t have to worry about them all night, or you are on a strict budget and can only afford one tag-along guest per person. You can indicate on the reception invite that there are two seats reserved for each guest. It is a nice way of saying that they can bring along a maximum of one person with them to your wedding without sounding rude. You can also indicate what you will be serving during the reception so that your guests can just notify you before the reception on what meal they would prefer to have. This means that you can give a specific list to the caterers on what to serve.
