Thanks, Jenn -

that's how mine was worded 12 years ago....but I didn't see it like that anywhere in the catalogs I got - I thought maybe it has changed.....

I worded mine
'TO SHARE IN OUR HAPPINESS
KINDLY JOIN US
FOR COCKTAILS, DINNER AND
DANCING
AT SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING

RECEPTION HALL
ADDRESS

I wanted to post pics of my invites but I forgot the cord to download the pics from my cam. I guess I 'll do it tonight.
