No Location Address Wedding Invite Wording
We’ve all seen at least a few wedding receptions in our lives, some held in a ballroom, open area, or even a home. But few of us have actually asked ourselves how we would word a wedding invite for a reception held at a location with no actual address. Sure, wedding invitation wording can be a headache in itself, but this sort of problem can easily complicate it, making it more of a nuisance than it should be.
Just because a certain location doesn’t have an address, you should not be discouraged from holding your wedding or wedding reception there. If you mention in your wedding invitation wording the name of the location, and include a miniature map, most if not all guests should manage to find the location. Of course, some locations may require a bit more guest guidance than would a park. In such events, there are other things one can do to help guests arrive at the reception site. Below, we have given you some suggestions for relocating wedding guests without giving them directions in your wedding invitation wording.
Some guests at your wedding will undoubtedly be driving a van or SUV. If you can find several guests driving bigger cars, you could possibly arrange for them to pickup other guests and take them to the site of the wedding reception. This process is much easier and relieves you of the task of trying to direct guests to the location via your wedding invitation wording. This type of plan is best arranged a few weeks prior to the wedding, to give all the guests adequate time to ensure their large vehicles will be available.
To remove any chances of confusion following your wedding ceremony, you should plan on designating a parking lot where guests can park their vehicles and subsequently board other cars to get to the reception area. While you may be unable to permit visitors to leave their cars at the wedding site, you could possibly rent a lot nearby the reception location to act as both a parking spot and as the site where guests can be picked up. This may need to be done weeks to months in advance. If guests are not informed of the meeting area in the wedding invitation wording, that could spell big problems for your wedding reception. Give them all the info they need so they won’t be confused when the time comes to leave the wedding site.
If problems arise amidst your efforts to rent a parking lot or establish a central meeting area, you could always have guests return to your home. Once guests arrive, you could then have them follow you to the reception site. A better idea might be to give guests verbal directions and provide them with some hand sized maps to help them navigate to the appropriate location.
If anything could be learned from such a potential problem it is this – that you need to plan ahead and ensure that your wedding invitation wording is clear on just about every important aspect of the wedding. Although such a small problem may seem minute and incapable of ruining a wedding, it can as a matter affect have a good bearing on the outcome of a wedding. With that said, be sure you plan ahead and write what needs to be said in your wedding invitation wording.
