Need unconventional invite wording help!

zeke17us

This will be my second wedding

FIs parents are footing the larger part of the bill but purely because they want to, they would have regardless of what my parents were contributing (which isnt much at all, but they have done this before and I dont expect them to do it again!)

Anyway, with the feel of the wedding and all the former, I feel that unconventional wording is what I'd like to go with, just curious if anyone else is using wording that is out of the ordinary?! (and or not including parents names)

I reeeally like something like this...

Sarah M. Soandso

and

Jeffrey R. Soandso

Boy met Girl.

For the rest of the story join us on
June 30, 2012
Celebration will begin at

4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Suchandsuch Park

Shenandoah, Iowa

Festivities will Follow at

5 o'clock in the arfternoon!

yay or nay?! thoughts?!

thanks!

I wanted wording very close to this! When I polled my family to look over it, they all told me it was really cheesy. Though I loved it. They also thought it didn't fit well with my wedding of black and white elegance, which I guess they are right about.

If you love it and want to do it, go for it. Maybe you could try to to get invites that reflect it?

I really like your. I have been married before as well and this is the wording that we are going with.

We have experienced love . . .
in our parents, our families and friends
and now a new love in each other
Together with our parents, we
Amy Marie ?????
and
Gregory Thomas ??????
invite you to share with us
a celebration of love
The ceremony will be held outside
at six o'clock in the evening
on Saturday, the sixteenth of June
Two Thousand and Twelve
??????
???????

On the response card, you could put something like

Come share in our Happily Ever After

or

Celebrate a Happy Ending

I'd avoid saying "happy ending".... for the people with dirty minds. 

I love the invite wording though.  We are doing something unconventional too.

FI likes "Hey we are getting married, you should come!"  so we will end up somewhere between that and traditional.

Cute! And your wedding is taking place 3 hours away from where I live now lol
