three thirty o'clock

That's incorrect, right?

I got an invitation today where a bride did this twice:

twelve-thirty o'clock and three thirty o'clock. 

I'm getting married next year, and I only plan to put: half past four in the afternoon.

Who is right? Me or her?

I just put 4:30pm on my invites. I like the way you did it too... Hers just seems, a little redundant?

three-thirty o'clock? hahaha  That's not right. Oh goodness.  You would be right ma'dear.

LOL! You are right!! Your friend either is a little slow or had a TERRIBLE stationary mix up!!

Yes how horrible! Its half past three oclock or half after three oclock, i think half past was the correct one. It certainly wasn't three thirty oclock, whoops!

Half after is correct.

Three thirty o'clock?  Tee hee.

Yes, half after is correct.

Half after for weddings; half past is for funerals.

I feel bad for your friend, though...if it were me, I'd feel extremely embarrassed if anyone pointed out my mistake!  I hope everyone else she invited is tactfully enough to not ask her about it, too...

As PP's have said, you are correct. Three thirty o'clock makes me giggle a little....

LOL I thought so. It sounded so weird.

She did it for her bridal shower invites too, and she had a few typos like putting honor instead of honour (we're Canadian)
