    The only thing I noticed was "invite you to share in the joy". Do you want to say "their joy"? It could just be me, but I visualize Joy dishwashing detergent being passed around a wedding reception ("Clean dishes for everyone!!").

    It is very possible it is me though.

    Hahaha Allison! I thought the same thing, minus your visual. That made me LOL though!

    Looks good otherwise!

    The capitalization of random lines seems weird to me, but I'm assuming it works with your layout.

    And yes, I'd say "their joy" not "the joy". 

    Some people will probably say you should be writing "at half after four in the afternoon" rather than "four thirty".

    I think I'd say "two thousand and ten" rather than just "two thousand ten".

    Just some alternatives to give you options!  congrats!

    Aaahhh you guys are right! I fixed it though... guests are now invited to share in our joy, no dishwashing required.
