Invitations

tabathafaye

We decided to go with Send-n-Seal Invitations to save some money (fiance just got laid off). Here is what I am working with. Any suggestions welcome.

I see from another post that I need to change the wording of the time to "half after four" and leave off "in the afternoon".

My RSVP date is just made up. Still haven't worked out when to send and when to set RSVP deadline (venue needs a number by a week before.)

(I had to change out the jpg, I realized I left our website url on it.)

Reception to follow

You don't like "and afterwards at the reception" instead of "reception to follow"?

CMGragain

Reception to follow is the standard wording.

I agree with CMGragain- it's the standard wording, and to me it also sounds better that way.

"and afterwards at the reception" sounds like a half finished sentence to me.

How's this

Looks good!

If you don't include the reception's address on the invite, that will probably be very confusing. Not everyone goes to the wedding website.

You don't have to include the address on the invitation unless there are two of the same venue name (for example if there are two St Patrick's churches in Las Vegas).

I don't think the address would make it look bad. It is something to consider.

Regardless of how many venues there are by that name, please include the address anyway so people can locate it without having to Google it or do extra research.  Not everyone has the capacity to do that.

I think it looks pretty good, but you should take out the 'and' in the date, just make it two thousand fourteen.

As a side note, yay Aiken! I have some family there.

Thanks all!!
