Invitation Questions

Ok this is how my wedding invite is worded:

Mr. & Mrs. Joseph X
Mr. & Mrs. William X
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their children

Corinne Danielle
and
William Bernard

Friday, the fourth of november
two thousand and five
at three-thirty in the afternoon
St. William the Abbot
Seaford, New York

My question: does there need to be an 'and' between both sets of parents or is it ok like this.

Re: Invitation Questions

I think you should put the and. I was just checking rexcraft invitation book and all of the invitations have and between the parents name.

I think it sounds better with the 'and' between the two sets of parents.

But I don't know about etiquette very much (I'm breaking all the rules so far...).

Re: Invitation Questions

We did it without the 'and' between the parent names. IMHO I like having DF and my name as the focus. They got their names at the top of the invite. Moreover, 15 lines of text could not fit on the card we wanted. They would have had to shrink the font to something so small it was difficult to read.

Re: Invitation Questions

I agree.. you should see how many lines you have to work with. FH and I really used up all the space on the particular invite we chose...

I think the and would sound better though!
