bump just for a couple more proofs! do you think that it is ok to not have many of the words capitalized? or should more be capitalized?

Isn't it supposed to be spelled honour if it's a formal wedding? I always get confused with that.

Re: Please proofread our invites!

I think it should be

Christine Marie
To
Jeffrey John Thomas

ETA: Other than that it looks great

As long as you are consistent, you can do the capitalization however you want. You seem to be capitalizing proper names only, which is fine. If you wanted to capitalize the beginning of each line that is fine too.

Upon first read everything looks good, the only things I might change are:

1. We invite you to join us
as the celebration continues!

(i moved 'as' to the second line)

2. I would get rid of the 'on' before 'Sunday' -- again more formal

3. Also, not sure how you are spacing the invite but I would leave a little more space between your names and the rest of the invite text, and maybe a little more space above the Parish info

4. are you doing a direction card for the church? I would normally suggest just doing the city and state (not the street address and zip) on the actual invitation and then include a direction card. it's more formal this way. however, its not wrong to include the full street address

just so you know, i originally had 'honour' on my invitation, but it is supposed to match the response card if you wrote 'the favour of a reply...' and since I didn't put 'favour' on my response card, i wrote mine exactly like yours, i changed it back to 'honor' so it matched.

that is totally up to you. i don't think it matters either way. i had it one way and then changed it. it's really a personal preference i guess b/c i am having a somewhat formal wedding, i'd like to think ,and i took out the 'u'
