I think 'and' is traditionally British... so if you are going with favour and honour then AND is correct....Here is what my editor sister-in-law said when I showed her my samples:

It's traditionally British to put 'and' in the year and 'honour' is spelled the British way in sample 2. It doesn't matter if you want to keep it the British way (some people prefer that) but you'll want to make it consistent. For example if your RSVP cards mention requesting 'the favour of a reply' you'll want to make sure they have the 'u' in favor/favour ...
