August 2012 Weddings

The Invite

We are just in the beginning stages of figuring out our invites but with only a month or so till we need to send them out, it is also the end, i just wanted your opinions on how this sounds, we are hosting our own wedding. Please give me feedback/tips if something doesn't sound correct.

Miss Jamie Lee (Last Name)
and 
Mr. Jeremy Kevin (Last Name)
invite you to share in their love
and happiness as they exchange
their vows and begin their 
new life together
at 5 o'clock in the afternoon
on Friday, the 31st of August, 2012
at (hotel, city, Arizona)

*Cocktail hour and reception, immediately following.

I also need help with RSVP card wording, if anyone has any suggestions. We will be having a plated meal with 2 options, I would like 3 and we may be able to get a third, I am just working against the hotel's table because they are also our caterers!

Thank you so much for all of your help! You all are my saving grace!
Anniversary

  • Overall, I think it looks good, but I would make a few changes.  To me, your line breaks seemed to be a bit odd, but that is really just personal preference.  Also, just to be really clear, I would say "marriage vows"; otherwise it sounds more like a vow renewal ceremony.

    This.  I like her line breaks a bit better (no offense), and her RSVP wording is exactly what I was going to write.
