Looks great! Instead of half past six o'clock... it should be half past six in the evening. You only put o'clock if it's on the hour... someone on LIW told me that when I was doing my invite wording!

Also, if the ceremony is not taking place at a 'place of worship' then it is spelled 'honor'

Good Luck!

Somewhere I did read that you only spell honor with the 'u' for black tie affairs or religious ceremonies. Where, I don't remember - probably on this site!!

And the other thing I noticed with your invite wording is 'Two thousand six' --> there shouldn't be 'and' between 'thousand' and 'six'. I will mention there are girls on this site who disagree with me, however my FH is a math major and he says two thousand and six in numbers is written as 2000.6, whereas two thousand six in numbers is written as 2006.

I don't know what is right/wrong but here's what we did....

-Wrote 2006 like this: Two thousand and six

-Our ceremony is at the reception site and we wrote: Request the honour of your presence

Hope this helps!

Thanks everyone. You know what I just realized, it doesnt matter if I write Two thousand and six or two thousand six....honor or honour....

Its not like anyone is gonna call me up and tell me it doesnt look right!

Love the quote on top...we were going it use that one too!

I originally had Miss ______ and Mr. _____ but then took out the Miss and Mr and just put our first names when I saw the proof. I think your wording looks good! Your invites will be beautiful!

i agree...also, is the ceremony AT the swan club? if so, you don't really have to put 'reception following...' on there....but it's fine to do so as well. you just don't need to (source: invitation vendor explained this to me...when you don't mention the reception (since it's all at one place) then you don't need reception cards either....saving yourself money....and when it's not mentioned, it's assumed to be all at one place. )
