Father Mike from Ascension Press explains why:
2.
All guests are welcome to attend the church ceremony, even if they’re not Catholic.
Feel free to invite your most cherished friends and family!
3.
The wedding invite should include both the church and reception venue locations.
You’ll need to factor in travel time between both destinations and provide a timeline for guests.
4.
gifts are welcome, but guests should bring them to the reception venue.
You can also have one shipped to the couple’s home, depending on the size or nature of it.
5.
