Only a few days remain until Sofia Vergara and her fiancé Joe Manganiello tie the knot, and in the lead-up to the big day, HELLO! Online has obtained an exclusive picture of the wedding invitation. The photo confirms the details of the celebration, which will kick off the night before on Saturday 21 November.
Sofia, who is a self-confessed sweets and cakes addict, will host an evening of cocktails and desserts at The Breakers hotel in Palm Beach, Florida.
The luxurious Italian, Renaissance-style resort – which has a private beach – is the same venue where Sofia and Joe will say "I do" the next day on Sunday 22 November.

Guests have been asked to wear gowns and tuxedos for the lavish affair, which will start with a ceremony at 6pm followed by dinner and dancing. "It's a Latin party, we go until late," the bride has previously told E! News. "There's a party and an after party."
Instead of gifts, the couple have asked their 400 invitees to make donations to charities that hold a special place in Sofia and Joe's hearts. St Jude's Children's Hospital, which helps youngsters battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases, is one of the chosen charities.

HELLO! Online has also exclusively learnt that Sofia will be given away by her 23-year-old son Manolo. The 43-year-old bride will walk down the aisle in a dress designed by Lebanese maestro Zuhair Murad, who is a close friend of hers.
A total of 10 make-up artists and hairdressers will tend to Sofia, her cousins and her friends on the big day. The actress' family – as well as seven of her best childhood friends – are flying in from Sofia's hometown of Barranquilla in Colombia.

Sofia's big day will be a Modern Family affair and her co-stars have all been invited to the wedding, as well as comedian Ellen DeGeneres and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is a close friend of her fiancé Joe.
Arnold played matchmaker at the start of Joe and Sofia's relationship and arranged for the pair to meet for the first time in New Orleans, with the help of Sofia's co-star Jesse Tyler.
