You can actually use it both ways but 'Day in our Lives' is consistently plural and a more formal way. I do not think anyone would notice however....

Our is plural lives should be plural.

My life / our lives.

Re: Wording Advice

honestly honestly, i promise, imho, its FINE. its the hotel card, not the invite or something. yes, the second way is the correct way but like i said, its the hotel card, noone will care and if anyone does, theyll still think its from the hotel, not your card that you made up

I say leave it alone. You're getting married and becoming ONE, right?

Don't waste the paper, esp just for the hotel info card... i like the unity of 'our life' (and I was an English teacher...) I like to play with words and meanings... You're not writing an essay!!!

Either way is fine because now that you are married your lives are now together into one life. So I think it is fine the way you did it - esp since you already cut 100 of them. Dont redo it.
