Invitation help??????

My fiance is going to custom design the wedding invitations, but we're stumped on what to do. We are having both the reception and the ceremony at a friends house (It looks like the white house, closest description to compare it to). It is outdoors, and we are doing the ceremony on the front porch, the reception in a tent in the backyard. The land is landscaped, but I don't know what flowers will be in bloom (late may). We want a simple, outdoorsy, but elegant wedding...we are thinking light pink and gold as our colors... Anyone have any ideas for these invites? And also, what's the best way to tell everyone that the wedding is outside and to wear appropriate footwear? (suggestions here have swayed me from heels) Thanks so much!

1. Here is a site that might help you come up with some ideas. http://www.myexpression.com/ArticlesWedding/OutdoorWeddingInvitations.cfm As far as dress, you could simply have it this way: Dress - Outside wedding and reception, wear weather appropriate clothing.
2. Pink hydrangias would look really nice, they're in full bloom at the end of May. You could tie in the gold using a ribbon.
