A while ago (and I can't even begin to say when it was - probably early spring), someone posted here about her wedding in Las Vegas.
The ceremony was going to be at a hotel chapel and then the reception was at a buffet. The wording used (on her website, I think, or perhaps it was on a proof of the invitation) indicated that the bride and groom were going to have brunch at this buffet and guests were welcome to join them if they wanted to, and that it was $xx per person.
It was short, to the point, and made it extremely clear that while they would like their guests to come to brunch, they weren't going to be footing the bill.
I now find myself in a similar situation. We're definitely getting lunch after our morning wedding. We'd like company, but we'd like that company to know - as tactfully as possible - that we're not supply lunch. We're supplying champagne and cake at the ceremony site, but not lunch.
If you were that bride with the most excellent phrasing regarding your wedding brunch buffet, or if you know the post I'm talking about and can point me in that direction, or if you have helpful wording, I'd be most appreciative.
Thanks!
