Please critique my invite wording!

My parents are hosting but we want to mention my fiance's parents. What do you think? Does the spacing look right?

Mr. and Mrs. xxx
Request the honour of your presence

to
Steven Robert
son of
Mr. and Mrs. xxx
Saturday, the eighteenth of September
Two thousand and four
at one o'clock in the afternoon

Is anything not capitalized that should be?
Thanks !

I am bad with capitalizing and all that stuff so I can't help you there but the wording is great!

Does anybody know if the groom's name is supposed to be written out with his first and last name if I am doing son of ......

The wording sounds great. I would put the groom's last name even though you are also putting his parent's names.

Are you making your own invites? If not the invitation company will correct any capitalization..I think that if you are putting FH's parents, its not necessary to put his last name. IMO

Yeah, I agree, I don't think you put last names twice.

Looks good.

We didn't put the last name twice. We did Thomas Joseph son of Mr. and Mrs. XXX.

Re: Please critique my invite wording!

the only thing that needs to be changed is 'Requests'. it SHOULD NOT be capitalized

Here is all my wording if you need help. Since we are both WM girls! It was all centered, but I can't get it to come up that way.

Two minor wording detailed I learned about when I ordered my invitations:

1. Some people feel that 'two thousand and four' is incorrect -- there shouldn't be an 'and.' I KNOW I've seen years written both ways, though.

2. The 'honour' can be spelled in the American manner if you prefer.

These aren't crucial issues. Just thought you should know!

Thank you!
I was wondering the same thing about honour.
I don't remeber what I put for the year. I'll have to check. I made up my wordign, but I'm sitting on it for a week, to make sure I like it.
I'm ordering on line, so I don't have someone to point out those little things.
