I apologize - one more invite question

kimberlyjj81

Is 5pm afternoon or evening for the wording?  Or do I just say at 5pm.  I know everyone hates invite questions.

I think the general consensus on one of these questions awhile back was afternoon, though I always thought 5 pm was the start of evening.

just say five o'clock

When you go to restaurants, generally they stop serving lunch at 3pm, so I would assume that anything onward would be considered evening.

I got conflicting answers on this here, and ended up putting afternoon for my wording. When I took it to Crane & Co they said it should be evening, my mother the etiquette nazi agreed.

It depends who you ask. I say evening, but others say afternoon.

I believe 6pm is the technical start of evening.But what happens in daylight savings?!??Ditto whit, you don't need to write anything...people will know it's not 5am.

for our 3pm ceremony, we just put "at three o'clock" -- you can do the same, people won't think your wedding is at 5am.

Just say five o'clock.  It's a given that it would be pm, because it surely wouldn't be am.
