invitation wording

[CaliPoppy]

We've decided to go for a more casual feel with our invitations... would love some input on the wording.

1)
[Dad] and [Mom]
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their daughter
[me]
to
[FH]

or

2)
[Dad] and [Mom]
invite you to share in their joy
as their daughter
[me]
and
[FH]
exchange marriage vows

I like the 2nd one if you are going with the casual feel for the invites. But how casual are you going with the actual wedding?

[CaliPoppy]

Yeah, it's an outdoor wedding... I'm wearing a tea length dress. Dressy casual.

[Bri]

Then I'd say the 2nd would fit well! :)

[Mel]

i totally agree on the second being a good fit for you and your wedding!

[Finally tying the knot]

I agree! The second way of wording seems to flow more eloquently. Definitely suitable for your wedding. Are you making your own invitations or having them made for you? I am all about cheap wedding invitations (http://www.mygatsby.com/wedding-invitations.html) that look expensive!

Is there a mistake in this invitation? Besides the affection of "honour"? The names have been changed
