I’m SO nervous about printing my invites. Is there anything majorly wrong with this?It looks super fuzzy so hopefully you can read it. Thank you in advance!!!

    Twenty-first should have a dash, and if you're going to have the year on the same line as the date, then I think you need a comma after August.  So it would read:
    Saturday, the Twenty-First of August, Two Thousand Ten

    Ditto PP.  Also, it seems like an awful lot of text.  This is totally just my opinion & feel free to disregard it, but I think it would be more visually pleasing if there was another font.  Like, maybe do your names in a font that is scripty or otherwise really different from Copperplate?  And maybe, if you're doing inserts, put the venue addresses on one of the inserts so it's just their names, to make things a little less wordy.  Otherwise, it looks good.  I love that you're having dueling pianos, how cool is that?!

    Thank you ladies! This isn't the font we are using. Our names will be in Scriptina. I thought about doing a seperate reception card but I'm trying to keep things simple since I'm doing them myself. I appreciate the input!

    Personally, I don't care for the all-caps. It makes it very hard to read. Carrieoz's corrections, too.

    I think that the date would look better on the second line. I also think that having the website on the actual invite doesn't look good/sorta tacky IMO. I think you should put it on a different insert if possible. I agree with PP that it is just too much text.

    I agree with Carrie in her corrections and Jenny that your names should be in a scripty font. I like copperplate, you don't need to change that, it looks nice.. your names would pop more if they were in a different font.

    I wouldn't use initial caps for the prepositions (e.g., "In The").

    Bump "and" to the next line (generally, don't end lines on a preposition or conjunction if you can help it)

    I would hyphenate twenty-first

    I would bump the year to its own line (or delete altogether--it's not necessary)

    I would take the URL off the invite and maybe put it on another insert if you feel it's needed. You can also take off the "http://"

    basically agree with PP.  Put the website on a different insert and maybe not so much space between text cuase it makes it harder to read.
