How is this wording?

Mr. and Mrs. Alfonso C*****
request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Maria Teresa
to
Stephen Albert R***
son of
Mr. and Mrs. David R***
on Sunday, the twenty-seventh of June
two thousand and four
at three o’clock in the afternoon
St. Helen’s Church
Howard Beach, NY


How is everyone doing the wording for your reception cards? Thanks!

that sounds really good!!
I think usually you put
reception to immediatly follow at.....

I love that church in howard beach! my nephew got baptised there

just a thought, you may want to add the street address for the church as well, for those who may need some mapquest help.

it would just be one more line

St. XXX Church
1234 Main Street
Anytown, USA

on second thought, do you have to include your FI's last name 2x?

1 - 2x

to
Stephen Albert R***
son of
Mr. and Mrs. David R***

2 - 1x

to
Stephen Albert
son of
Mr. and Mrs. David R***

if you don't repeat your last name, why his? not sure, just my thoughts!

I'm probably not going to include a direction map to the church but I will put the church address.

I'm not sure about putting my FI's last name. Alot of websites have it down when using 'son of'

Does anyone know if I have to hyphenate twenty seven? How do I write out the year? 'Two thousand and four?' or 'two thousand and four?' I've seen it in catalogs as 'two thousand and four.'

don't need 'on' for date late, 'in the afternoon' for time line, or FI's last name.

This is how my reception card will read
