Invitation Wording

annerenee07

Hey there fellow Knotties...I am starting to design my invitations, and was wondering what everyone thought about the wording choice. All parties are contributing to the wedding, and the tricky part is that my parents are divorced, so that is why my parents names are named separately. Well let me know what you think...

Ms. Kathleen Smith

Mr. Donald Smith

and

Mr. and Mrs. Randall Jones

invite you to share in the joy of the

marriage uniting their children

 

My Name

and

Groom's Name

 

saturday, July 14th

five thrity in the evening

Greystone golf and banquet center

67500 Mound road

romeo, michigan

Thirty is spelled wrong in the time. 

Beyond that, the line after the parents names "sounds" a little off to me. 

Beyond those I think it is great.  I'm not sure on the divorced parents official etiquette off the top of my head but I think that's right.

I would spell out the date:

Saturday, the twelfth of July
two thousand twelve
at five thirty in the evening or half past five in the evening

Also, watch your capital letters.  Some items are capitalized and some aren't (for example you do not have Saturday or Michigan capitalized nor the entire name of Greystone).

Otherwise it looks good to me.  Although I would go in and change the last names if those are in fact the true last names.  Smith and Jones generally are good substitutes

Aside from what PPs said, I think it's fine. Personally I don't like the divorced look because they have the same last name but are on separate lines and then your FI's parents are together on one line... but that's me being crazy. 

DH's parents are divorced and have the same last name and therefore I wanted to avoid that so we wrote "Together with their parents..."

<div>Yea, I was not too crazy about it the separate lines for my parents, so I did start to write the "Together with their parents..." I ran it by the parents and they seemed fine with it.</div>
