i put 1/2 hour early.... we had a coffee reception so everyone could sit inside and chat before the actual ceremony seating started.

it worked out very well for us

I put 15 min early just in case. I didnt want to go to 30 min early and my RH said it wouldnt be a problem. I would check with where your having the ceremony first.

Hmm I liked the 15 min early the best. Do you think it would look stupid if I put 3:15. haha or a quarter passed the hour??

I put 11:15 on my regular set of invites and then on my chinese I had quarter past the hour since thats how the wording was laid out.

Right now it says 'at three o'clock in the afternoon'

So would that translate to 'a quarter passed three o'clock in the afternoon'

The reception invite says half passed seven o'clock in the evening.
