'Honor' or 'Honour'?

Ok, here's my invite wording (both of our parents are separated/divorced so that is why they are sooo long.)

Mrs. [Bride's Mom]
and
Mr. [Bride's Dad]
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
[Bride]
to
Mr. [Groom]
son of
Mrs. [Groom's Mom]
and
Mr. [Groom's Dad]
Saturday, the twenty-fourth of May
Two thousand and three
at six o'clock in the evening
Hamlet Wind Watch Golf and Country Club
Hauppauge, New York

Reception following ceremony
Black tie optional

Now, is it such a big deal that I have honor and not honour that I should reorder the invites (they were not that expensive), or am I really the only person that is going to notice. I can't decide what to do. Part of me says to reorder and part of me says to leave it.

I have honour on mine but if you already ordered them I would NOT reorder.

I believe its proper to use EITHER provided you are consistent. Even if it werent - dont reorder!

Honour/Favour is the proper British spelling and is commonly used on formal invitations. We used it because I just thought it looked nice!

I had honour but it is NOT A BIG DEAL. Don't stress yourself out. Reordering is expensive and a pain, trust me no one will notice and if they do who cares, that is not the most important thing for the wedding.

Thanks everyone. OK, I am NOT going to reorder and I won't think about it again.
