Proper Punctuation/Capitalization for Invitations?
I'm ready to order my invites, but wanna make sure I have all my I's dotted & my T's crossed!
Is there anywhere online I can find out what words need to be capitalized/spelled out/proper punctuation & all that?
Thanx!

It should be 'honor.'

not necessarily, honour is the english way of doing it. When we were writing our invitations the woman at the shop told us that it is really a matter of preference.

yeah I've seen it as 'honour' around a lot. Just looks fancier
Anything else ladies?

i have 'honour' on my invite. i read somewhere that the -our is for a religious ceremony and -or is for a civil ceremony. i also think it just looks more formal. everything else looks 'right' to me!

oh one thing - you may want it to say 'we ask FOR your presence...' -- the other way doesnt really make grammatical sense.
