Wedding invitation help

[mctan]

Hi there, any help appreciated please.

For our wedding invitation, we'd like to put "reception to follow" in Vietnamese.
We don't have much space left, so we'd like it short and sweet. Do any of the following make any sense (from the translation widget) or is there a better sentence we can use?

- sự tiếp nhận để đi theo sau
- bữa ăn tối để làm theo
- bữa ăn tối để đi theo sau

Thanks in advance!

I don't understand what these Vietnamese sentences say
Please give more details.

Yea, i don't either

How would you say: "Dinner to follow" in vietnamese?

[vietnamese4u]

umm, I think you should say "Dự tiệc chiêu đãi" or "Tổ chức đãi tiệc"

Ah, so would this be better for a formal invitation then?

[vietnamese4u]

i think so, you can use it if there is no other suggest

đón khách
mời ăn tối

That is more than enough and purely Vietnamese

Reception to follow:
reception: tiệc tiếp tân (litterally "banquet to greet guests") or "tiếp tân" . That's what the feast was for: to introduce the newly wed to guests who couldn't make it to the ceremonial. That's why they have to go around the tables in the middle of the feast (and you can't leave the feast until that part is over).

Better to have us translate the whole sentence so we can try to say it succintly and formally.

Reception to follow: "sau đó là tiệc tiếp tân".

ps.: there is another word that is specifically reserved for the wedding feast but I don't remember.

I know in some Vietnamese wedding invitations, "Tiếp theo là tiệc chiêu đãi" and "Theo sau là tiệc rượu" are used to say "Dinner to follow". And I recommend "Theo sau là tiệc rượu" which gives a formal and Vietnamese style. Hope that help.
