Erica - who's hosting the party? I like 4 & 5, but I would change the wording on #5 if the children aren't hosting.

Something like:
Together they have
found a friendship, raised a family,
and built a beautiful marriage
You are most warmly invited
to participate
in the joyous celebration
of NAMES
YEAR Wedding Anniversary
A/AN EVENT will be held
on DAY

technically dad is paying...but my sister and I could easily say we are the hostesses

I'm a little iffy on #5...b/c of the loviness...not really my parents...but I thought it was a nice thought...

I LOVE # 5 !
But change the wording to friendship, then marriage, the family.

I like #4. Sweet, but simple.

My thoughts exactly.

I like #5 but if you dont think that is your parents style than its probably not a good one.

How about something like:

Please join us on
Day, Date, Year
Time
Location
as Joe and Jane
celebrate 25 years of
for better or worse.

or

For better or worse..

Please join us
in our 25th anniversary Celebration

or something else that plays on wedding vows?

I like #5...but add grandchildren (if they have any).
