Invitation Wording?!?!

Ok so apparently my FMIL thinks the invitations are too wordy...It begins with:"Love was meant to be sharedwith family and friendsBRIDE and GROOMhave found love in each otherBecause you have shared in their lives..."and then continues with the usual parents names invite u to join us stuff.I know it's a little long, but is it tacky?! Idk if that is what she was trying to imply, but I love it...as cheesy as it may be. lolJust wanted your thoughts on it...Next question: For my enclosures (I'm doing pocket invitations) I'll have three...accommodations, RSVP, and directions...I've seen some invitations where it'll say "Where to stay?" in the place of 'accommodations', "Find your way" in the place of 'directions' (i don't know what to use in place of "RSVP")...just wondering if you guys have any ideas of different wording that could be used on these cards instead of the usual. lol...And finally, is there something wrong with putting "Reception following Ceremony" on the bottom of the invitation?...The ceremony and reception are in the same place, so I don't have a reception enclosure.  How else would I make mention of the reception if not on the invitation, or is that even necessary??Any ideas  & opinions welcomed! LOLThanks! :-)

    I don't think it's tacky at all...every part of your wedding should reflect you and your personality including your invites and if you like it that way, then go for it...maybe spell out R.S.V.P to read Répondez s'il vous plaît in english it kinda rhimes with where to stay and find your way...i don't know...just a thought..and lastly for sure, if you've having ceremony and reception at the same place, you can put it on the invitation: reception to follow. that's what i am doing :)

    PP already answered your questions perfectly but . . . Why would your FMIL not like the wording??? What is there not to like?  Not like it matters as long as you and your FI like it but seriously.  ::shrugs shoulders in confusion::
