Invitation wording

[Hughto]

Would you mind proof reading our invites for us, please?




Love is when two people join together
and make each other better people
for having the other person in their life.





Kathryn Margaret Hughto

&

Aaron Briant Brown



together with their parents
Kathryn Brewer
and
Raymond and Roberta Brown

request the honor of your presence

at their wedding on
Saturday, the second of June
Two thousand and seven
at half past one in the afternoon

Sacred Heart Church
Mohican Street
Lake George, New York



Thanks for your help!


ETA: Also, I know I have seen the year dates capitalized on some invites and lower in others. Any thoughts on that? ie, two thousand and seven vs Two thousand and seven.

Oh... one other thing I was wondering on...
Is it right as it currently reads as "at their marriage?" Should it be something different, "at their wedding," "of their marriage," or another?

I'm not good with things like this but it seems good to me! :thumbsup:

I would spell out "and" between your names rather then using the &

Ditto. Other than that, I didn't see a problem.

Thank you.

Just out of curiousity, is there a particular reason why? We are using a very script font which I am sure isn't showing on most screens (showed at home where the font is located, but not on my work computer). We decided to put in the "&" instead because it went well with the a swirly decoration that will be placed under the poem and above my name (also not shown here).

I'm sorry... I really am not trying to argue here. I hate when someone asks for opinions and then argues when given them. Just curious on if there was a formality reason or something.

I really do appreciate everyones thoughts and help! Thank you!

EVERYTHING looks great...cept Im not really liking the at their marriage part. But it really is up to you because it is YOUR wedding

I read somewhere it is proper ettiquette to spell out everything on invites, no abbr. no numbers, etc.

BUT....if you aren't a stickler for ettiquete, and you think it looks pretty...I don't think it is that big of a deal.

[*alissa*]

P.S.
Just a thought....but what about

"request the honor of your prescence at their wedding (or marriage) ceremony"

[carolinalady67]

Katie, same reason Alissa said, just what I've read in all the invitation wording things I've seen. Not because I think it looks wrong or bad. If you like the way it looks in your font then I see no reason why you shouldn't leave it. Most people will probably not notice or even think twice about it when they get your invitations. The average public doesn't read five million articles on how to do a wedding invitation ;)

On your other questions, I vote to capitalize the "T" on the year. And I would change it to wedding or marriage ceremony.

Also, I don't think I said it before, but I love the poem you are using. So sweet!

[Raychel]

I think "at their marriage" reads strange. I would go with something like at their wedding or ceremony or something similar to that.

[Hughto]

OK, that makes sense then. Thank you!

Thanks, Lisa. I found it on some love poem website. It was one of the first 100 I read. I liked it enough I decided not to see if there were any others I might like more! There were just so many!

I agree that it reads weird. I think it was written that way originally since most parents are introduced earlier in the invite then ours, and I modeled it from the majority of invite wording!

[Renny]

ETA: I went back and checked and I did end up changing our invites and wrote and out.... sorry about that. I still think if you wanted to though you could use the and sign.

I would change the "at their marriage" to as they begin their marriage, at the ceremony celebrating their marriage...

Also I would use a capitol T, I think that's what it was.....

[Aramelle]

Well, I vote for using the & sign, but maybe that's because what I plan on doing. :p

I agree with everyone's recommendations about capiatlizing the T and rewording at their marriage. The only other thing is, I *think* that the date should read "on Saturday..." :headscratch:

Oooo, yeah..that sounds better...
"request the honor of your prescence at their marriage (or wedding, I think I like wedding better, MPO) ceremony ON Saturday"

[Hughto]

Ok, I edited the originial post and made bold changes from a lot of the suggestions. I hope I didn't miss a suggestion someone made, but I think I fixed the trouble spots.

As of right now, we will be keeping the "&," but we are still thinking about it.

Thanks once again everyone!

[*alissa*]

:) I like it.

[carolinalady67]

Looks wonderful.

[Hughto]

Thank you!

[Renny]

looks great

[Raychel]

Looks good! I see nothing wrong with keeping the "&" either.

[Andrea]

you know what...keep the &...I think it looks VERY well put there

[PurpleFlower]

did you know that it says together with their parents but only states his parent? did you mean to leave yours out?

[Hughto]

Actually Kathryn Brewer is my mom (she is remarried) and my dad is deceased.

His parents are both married and are Ray and Roberta. Both his and my parents are listed.

looks great!
