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!

For internet safety; I wouldn't post your real names.

Have you used FI's parents if they want to be listed on the invite?  I would do this first and go from there depending on their response.

If you want to use the above wording, I would only capitolize as needed (no girl, follow, etc).  And I wouldn't use an exclamation point. Usually invites are written in the third person also.
