Should reception to follow be capitalized?

Capitalise the key words in a standalone line like "Reception to Follow" because it acts as a heading or a phrase on its own. In a full sentence, such as "The reception will follow the ceremony," you do not need capitals. For a classic, formal look, write it on its own line after the ceremony details. For a more relaxed style, you can write "Reception to follow" in sentence case, but the traditional and most common choice is to capitalise the first letters of both words. Keep the wording simple and clear so guests know what to expect. If you are adding a location, write "Reception to Follow at The Old Barn" with capitals for the main words. Avoid using all capitals or italics unless your stationery design calls for it. The key is consistency: if you capitalise one line, capitalise all similar lines on the invitation.
