Fun Wording...

in Wedding Invitations & Paper
I'm looking for some help with some fun wording for our invites/RSVPs.  We are getting married on 12/20/12, and we are playing off the whole "the world is ending on 12/21/12"  That is not necessarily the "theme" of the wedding, but a fun little extra.

Any suggestions for some fun wording of the invites or RSVP cards?  Accept/regrets?  We'd also like to ask for music suggestions...

Thanks!

    This is really inappropriate.  I wouldn't make any mention of 12/21/12. You're likely to offend someone.

    I think you'd confuse a lot of people by trying to talk about the supposed end of the world on your invites. It's just not an appropriate place for that. Play that song "it's the end of the world as we know it..." by REM at the reception and call it a day.

    i like  Caitlin192 's idea!! i highly doubt you'll offend anyone, unless you are inviting some Mayans. although this is coming from someone who put a flying pig on her invite (FI and I have been dating for over 8 years and never really cared if we were married or not) 

    my accepts and regrets are:
    __will attend in person
    __will attend in spirit

    don't knock yourself out over fun wording - you'll find that there's really not much room for all the info you need as it is, so sweat the details of the other wedding stuff to add in some personality.

    <div>Or Christians, or Muslims, or Jews, or anyone else that has religious belief connected with the world ending or rapture.</div><div>
    </div><div>But really, it's less about offending and more about coming off as immature.  I mean, who wants to go to a wedding when the couple doesn't even take the marriage seriously?  I sure wouldn't want to go to a wedding when the couple says on the invitation that they didn't want to get married.  </div>

    I love the idea!  Big fan of Caitlin's ideas!  If I were you I'd use it for everyone, but I suppose if you are concerned what anyone would think then you could send them different RSVP - but that sounds like a lot of trouble.

    The only song I can think of is that song... It's the End of the World as We Know It (you've probably already come up with that!)

    Our wedding isn't serious. That's not to say we don't know what we're undertaking, but we've been together for a long time, we've put ourselves through the stress of an unplanned (but not unwanted!) pregnancy and all the stresses that come with a newborn, and we still want to make that huge commitment to each other. 
    Our wedding is going to be one huge party, and one grand time. I think all weddings should be. Don't get hung up on what people might think. Do it how you want to do it and if someone doesn't want to celebrate your wedding day because they're offended by your invite, then they shouldn't be on the guest list anyway.
