Please HELP....... need to proof my invite!!

Ok, here's my invitation proof from the My Gatsby website.....their 10% off sale ends tomorrow, so I need to make sure this is ok before I approve everything.

I've looked at this so many times, so of course it all looks fine to me.....please point out anything you might consider changing.

OH, and should I just take out the headline of 'Reception' on the reception card?? I don't know if that looks funny. BTW, the cardstock will be bronze for the reception card....it will go with the bottom layer of the invite (My Gatsby's site doesn't show you the invite wording w/ the bottom layer- but the invite will be 3 layers- bronze, gold & then ivory.

Thanks for your help ladies!!







ETA- a pic of the sample My Gatsby had sent me....just to give you a visual....mine will be the same except the top layer will be a metallic ivory (instead of coral as shown).

Hey Helen! It looks beautiful!! The only thing I cannot see and would add: Is there a comma after Ozone Park on the invite and after Douglaston on the Reception card? Also, I think you are right...'Reception' is not necessary on the 'reception card.' Love the font of the writing and the colors soound gorgeous!! Great job sweetie!!

I think the reception headline is just fine. The only thing I questioned, and this has been debated on here, is the 'and' in two thousand AND seven. Other than that, looks good. Very nice choice.

thanks so much!!!! yes I've seen the AND debate lol.....I kind of like the way it looks and I've seen it that way in invitation books, so I think I'll leave it. thank you though!! I appreciate the feedback!

yeah the more I look at it, the more I think it might look odd.....maybe also b/c I used a different font than I did for the 'RSVP' headline (it didn't look right in the other font), so that alone might make me think it looks funny. thanks Gabi!! you're the best!!! I've been meaning to FM you....I got my tiara on Friday......giddy up!!! I'm so excited!

think you did a great job!!! looks great

I would leave the 'and.' It is acceptable either way and I think it flows better with it in. And let me clarify... if your like 'Reception' at the top of the card I think it is totally fine, but if you don't think it's necessary and want to take it off, then it would look just as great!

I agree. I pesonally would leave the 'and', but thats my opinion. I think it came out great.

They are great!


I would put a comma after Saturday and a comma after Ozone Park.

While I think it looks great, I would move the flourish on the invite so that it is below the date/time instead of where it is now - usually if it's present, it's right before the name of the church/hall. It would be similar formatting as your reception card.

I would leave Reception on the reception card just because I like continuity and think it would go well with the RSVP card.

INVITE
- there should be a comma after together with our parents

-the r in request and the t in to should not be capitalized

- the flourish should be moved to after the date and time

- you need a comma after saturday

- it should add the word 'at' before the time

- comma after ozone park

Reception card

- comma after happiness

- the k in kindly should not be capitalized

- you need a comma after dinner

- the a in at should not be capitalized

RSVP card

- the b in by should not be capitalized

ACTUALLY ABOUT THE CAPITALIZATION,

you dont have a consistant flow......
sometimes you capitalize words, sometimes you dont.


you need to either capitalize all words, or just names, proper pronouns, and first word of sentences

an ex of what you did is in your rsvp card with a lot of first letters in words capitalized, but then dinner and dancing aren't
