I would take out the 'with us' and add 'we' to the beginning:

Together with our parents
we invite you to share
this joyous celebration of love
at our marriage............

Hope that's what you were looking for!!!

Here is my wording...similar to yours.
Only we are having our CH right after ceremony.

Re: please find what's wrong with this invite

mine was caps like that too. I did that on purpose because I just liked the way it looked. I think it's a personal preference.

Posted by JPC1125

yep...see?



Thank YOU! The font is upper and lower cases, but it's similar to Copperplate Gothic so it's all caps...that does look really nice. I wanted smething really swirly so I used Citadel...the CAPS look too modern for what I was going for.

What do your invites look like?

These were mine...




ETA: This was my wording...soprt of similar to yours.

Once upon a time the stars in the heavens crossed
and so we met…
Together with our parents

Come celebrate the union
of our lives and our families.

Re: please find what's wrong with this invite

The reason the ours and us's sound weird is that is is in 1st and 3rd person

You have 1st person with the our us etc and 3rd when you write out your names..

Imagine yourself saying that to someone , it would sound weird because you refer to yourself by name instead of I

I would change it to their like the above example.

Re: please find what's wrong with this invite

Unless you do

We,

NAME NAME and
NAME NAME,

together with our parents,
invite you....

Re: please find what's wrong with this invite

our invites I think are very contemporary so I dont need to be formal and follow etiquette

Oooh I LOVE your invites! And the Upper and Lower 'CAPS' font would wonderful with it!

Re: please find what's wrong with this invite

the 'Four' should not be capitalized. It should be four o'clock

JPC1125 Posted:

Re: please find what's wrong with this invite

ok...changing the Four to four...it feels so wrong not to capitlize some of these words



on a side note- do hotel info cards get ordered with the invites?
