Wedding party, not reception

[Amy]

We are in a unique situation regarding the reception. We are having a family reception at our home directly after the wedding, but are having a huge bash for our friends a week later. How do I politely write the invitations and let my friends know that we aren't excluding them (at least not on purpose). Also, does anyone have a really awesome poem or quote to put on the party invitation? ALso, is there a polite and tactful way to request money, not gifts?

hey...i believe the proper way to ask for cash is to write no boxed gifts please on the bottom of the invite..
