RP from BHB -- e-party invites....Help!

I need to send a draft of my e-party invites tomorrow. This is what I would like to write on the invite. One problem.....the bold text is worded as if someone else is hosting, when we are hosting it ourselves. Any suggestions about re-wording or anything else about the wording? Thanks!

Maria is becoming a bride
And soon Jerry will be by her side.
Let's wish them lots of love and cheers
And good luck in the coming years!

Please join us for cocktails, dinner and dancing to celebrate the engagement of

Maria and Jerry

We look forward to celebrating with you!

We are also going to include direction cards from the catering site that has the full street address. For sake of space, I kept it off the invite and just listed city and state.
We are having a cocktail hour and sit-down dinner. Should I somehow mention that? Or is mentioning 'cocktails, dinner and dancing' enough? The party is 5 hours long.

Thanks girls!!!!!

i think everything is fine - just change 'celebrate the engagement of' to 'celebrate our engagement' - it will let everyone know it is coming from you - not anyone else.

no need to put sit down dinner or any of that. usually the place sets the tone of what is 2b expected.

good luck and have fun!!!
