Proofread Please

mrs-smith2b

Will you all help me proofread this?  I know it sounds stupid. but I'm not sure what should be capitalized.  My FSIL made this for me, and now as I look at I don't think the capitilzation looks right?  I know somebody knows the answer!!

BTW:  this is the STD for our AHR


And if anyone cares, this is the STD we decided to go with for our wedding:

If you click on it, the wording is clear.  I don't know why??

IMO:

- "Save The Date" should be "Save the Date"
- "Fun" should be "fun"
- Formal Invitation to follow" should be "Formal invitation to follow"

EDIT - The ellipsis after "The I Do's will already be done..." bothers me. Maybe just a comma?

"Fun" shouldn't be capitalized. Nor should "Formal Invitation to follow". It should instead read "Formal invitation to follow."

Other than that it looks great! Congrats

Well Fun shouldn't be capitalized, that I know for sure.

Why are your wedding and reception 2 weeks apart?

mrs-smith2b

Thanks ladies!  I'm going to fix all that and I think I'm going to change the ... to a comma.  Do you think there should be quotation marks around "I Do's"  ?

You could do quotes around I Do's. Either way would work.

A couple of my best friends are from Fort Wayne.

fishe-You just have the Indiana connection!  Didn't you say you went to grad school in Indy?  Kind of a boring place though....just a bunch of corn fields around here!

This is just a side note---and question.

Does the girls name go first? Or the guys?

mrs-smith2b

Yeah we just had this discussion this weekend actually & I thought the girls & my SIL thought the guys....I was going to ask her to change it anyway because I am on the left & he is on the right in the photos  What do you think?

RachNRich

On our STD's, Rich's name went first, mine second.

On our invitations, mine went first--his went second.

But to be honest---I have no idea how it should be. I think it looks fine either way!

mrs-smith2b

yeah I was thinking I would just allign it with the picture! 

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

I've heard girls should go first. "Ladies first" and all that. I think Squirrly and Banana can tell you the reasoning, if there is any, besides that.

JanoBean75

I'd put your name first. It'll look better with that picture.

I think your FSIL put him first because she probably refers to you two as Brother and FSIL.

My friends and my side of the family calls us JanoBean and FI. His friends call us FI and JanoBean.
