Re: Question on invitation wording

The wording is good, I hope you don't mind that I moved/changed some things around on your invitation (in BOLD) -- hope you don't mind....

Mr. and Mrs. H.D
and
Mr. and Mrs. G.B
invite you to share in the joy
of the marriage uniting their children
Karen Jeanine
and
Joseph
This celebration of love will be on
[input day of the week,] the twenty fourth of April
Two thousand and four
at xxxx o'clock in the afternoon
St. Joseph's Church
[church's street address]
Kings Park, New York


When I ordered my invitations the girl said it wasn't nescessary to have Roman Catholic and we wrote St. instead of Saint, but I guess that's up to you.



I did my Reception and Response cards simple:

RECEPTION CARD:
Cocktail Hour at [time - lowercase] o'clock
Dinner to follow

[name of Reception hall]

[street address of Reception hall]
[City, State of Reception hall]


RESPONSE CARD:
Kindly respond on or before
[Month day, year]
