UPDATED SPANISH WORDING:
Con mucho pensamiento y consideración, hemos escogido una manera especial (ANOTHER WORD HERE???) para decirles gracias por ser parte de nuestra boda.
Hemos hecho una donación especial al American Cancer Society
en honor de nuestros seres queridos quienes han sido afectado por el cancer.
Nosotros sentimos que el mayor regalo es uno que ayuda a los demás
a vivir de buena salud. Les agradecemos su participación en este día tan especial.
Con todo nuestro amor, Los nuevos Sr. y Sra. Q_______
NOTE: In the last paragraph, doesn't it sound better to leave the 'a' out before 'vivir' so that it just reads:
... que ayuda a los demás vivir de buena salud.
?

Here are a few suggestions for the Spanish translation:
Hemos hecho una donación al American Cancer Society ( I don't think you need the word especial, it sounds too wordy)
en honor de nuestros queridos que han sido afectado por el cancer.
Sentimos (You don't need Nosotros, because it is understood using that verb tense) que el mejor (not mayor) regalo es uno que ayuda a los demás vivir una vida saludable. Les agradecemos su participación en este día tan especial
HTH!!

OK, so here's the newly updated Donation Cards with the updated Spanish wording. MANY thanks to Bonitachyc and FullersBride for the much needed help with the translation. I used both suggestions and a bit of my own.
PLEASE let me know if there's till something that needs fixing in this almost-final rough draft. THANK YOU!

Ok, I'm not sure if this is a cultrual difference in grammer or not, I speak Spanish from Spain and I know that Latin America has a slightly different dialect but for this sentence :
seres queridos que (not quienes) han sido (quienes is not a verb tense we would use) I guess if it sounds right to you use it, but to me it sounds wrong and should be que.
And up top in the sentence:
por compartir (you need to add:en) el dia de nuestra boda.
HTH

THANKS ladies!!!

oooh they look great-- sorry, i can't help with the spanish either but if melissa does not see this post then FM her the link-- she speaks Spanish very well and reads/writes with it too for her job (MJDoc12).![]()
Can you believe I'm a FLUENT spanish speaker? In fact, I didn't learn English until I started school (yes, I was BORN in NYC!! lol)... but when it comes to translations, sometimes I just blank!![]()
I hope Melissa sees it, if not I'll take your suggestion and FM her. THANKS!

THANK YOU! I know there are difference in our Spanish... it's funny because 'que' sounds incorrect to me, but maybe that's what it should be???
For the compartir, do you *have* to add 'en'? I thought it was like saying 'for sharing our day' ... if I add the 'en', that makes it 'for sharing in our day'... so wouldn't either be correct? Or am I just off?
ETA: sorry for all the questions!! I just don't want anyone in our families to wonder why the grammar is wrong, lol... Does the last line sound right? Con todo nuestro amor... etc?

HEHEHEH
I know this is sooooo frustrating.
I think the problem is that you are trying to translate it word for word and you can't always do that because it will sound funny in one of the versions.
I'm not sure what to so about que, to me it sounds correct. Maybe Lupita will get her a** on here and help![]()
![]()
You defenitely need to put in en, the sentence is not complete without it, again going back to the literal translation problem.
Con todo nuestro amor sounds great!!!

Great, thank you! I know caribbean hispanics have our own little version of Spanish anyway, lol, but my FH's family is Colombian and they speak a more formal spanish than my family does - I just want it to sound correct.
And yeah, where the heck is Lupita????![]()
Ok, so I'll definitely add the 'en' after compartir.
So that last line is ok with the 'Los Novios, Yesenia y Luis Q____'? I thought it maybe looked funny but that's the best way I could phrase it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
