My boss asked me to help her with the way her parent's 50th Anniversary invite was worded/caps etc. Can you girls look and see what you think with caps? I don't like the wording, but she does so oh well...

    It seems ok. But one question and I oculd be wrong. shouldnt it say "you have shared in their lives WITH your friendship and love??

    Agree with pp... and, also, why are random words capitalized throughout?

    I dont like random capitalization, FI does it and it drives me NUTS - in any event leaving Celebration and Wedding Anniversary capitalized I could see and wouldn't look odd to me but the rest I don't like - but I guess it is a personal opinion.

    Agree with Danes -- we got a wedding invitation that said "Because you've shared in our lives by your friendship and love" and I assumed it was a typo.  I would go with "with."  And I agree about the capitalization, although unlike njpabzy "Celebration" and "Wedding Anniversary" do bother me too.  Only proper nouns and beginnings of sentences should be capitalized.

    If I received this invitation, I would have a few questions -- like what is going on at the church?  I think calling it a "renewal of vows in celebration of the 50th wedding anniversary" would be clearer.  Also, I think you should put the names up higher if you can -- there's a lot of suspense about whose anniversary it is because it is so far down.  Also, who is throwing this party?

    I think there should be an "at" before the times.

    I agree with you about the wording.  Honestly, I think it is really odd that it is worded like a formal wedding invitation.  I understand that it is a renewal of vows, but it seems a little odd to me.  Even if it is a formal event, I'd try to make the wording different from a wedding invitation.  I don't think I'm the only person who thinks it is odd when people try to make vow renewals second weddings, but even if I didn't think that, it seems odd.
