Is their a formal way to say '2:45?'

Like on invites. For every other main interval it seems like there is a way (ie. half past, a quarter past...) but for a time ending in 45...or do i just say, two forty five?? egh

i thought of that too but thought that i maybe shouldnt include anything with the word 3 so they wouldnt get confused if they read it fast or something.

thanks for the responses!

Then you should totally do half past two because people will be 15 mins late and will show up at 2:45

Most places tell you to make the call time a half hour before the start time. So my ceremony starts at 7:30 but I am having a 7:00 call.
