Re: time question

I think that 6pm is technically the start of evening. 5pm is a boarderline time though, I'm sure that evening would still work for it.

Re: time question

I think 5pm is the borderline, so I guess it could be afternoon or evening which ever you prefer.

Re: time question

I thought I read in some planning book that 5pm is considered afternoon. I could be wrong though.

Re: time question

You don't HAVE to write in the afternoon or evening - you could just write 'at five o'clock'
I don't think anyone will think you're having your reception at 5 in the morning, so there won't be any problem!
