Please Proof!
This is my invitation and reply card so far.. We also are having a photo of us printed on the back side of the invite.
I have gone over these a few times and am sick of looking at them. Will you please be my fresh pair of eyes and let me know what issues or spelling errors you see?
Dinner is buffet, but I really want to know who will be attending the ceremony and who will arrive just for the reception, so trying to work that into a traditional reply card format..
Thank you SO much!

Dinner at 7 o'clock
Really not sure about the "o'clock" parts but I don't know a bette way to word it. Using PM is informal isn't it?
I would agree with bburkel. The way you have it now may seem that you can go to the ceremony or reception but not both. You could word it something like
-will attend the ceremony and reception
-will attend the reception only
On a random side note, I went to a wedding in Lancaster 6 years ago so seeing your town brought back memories.

[QUOTE]I agree with PPs. Also, as a guest I'd be confused about your reception start time. Does the reception start at 7? Or does it start immediately following the ceremony and diner is served at 7?

I was a little confused about this as well. And I agree with PP's about the whole ceremony and reception thing. Other than that, add the comma in the city and state and it looks good!
In Wisconsin atleast, it is VERY common for people to attend only to the reception. I would expect definitely less than 50% of my guests for the ceremony and I would like to know so I don't have to set up too many chairs. Also to determine where and how the ceremony will be set up as we are doing it ourselves.
Changing the option wording is definitely helpful!
We are having a dueling piano show with a DJ following, so that's why the sing along and dance options are listed

[QUOTE]I am not an invitation expert, but my suggestion is below. Personally, the top part is confusing so I would suggest moving it around. Also, I really don't read up on etiquette, but I think that 5 o'clock is usually evening and since you mentioned dinner at 7, I wouldn't include the evening part. I went back and forth between afternoon and evening on my 5pm wedding and decided it was easiest to leave it all out! Good luck!

Unfortunately the top part can't be moved around.
The evenings and oclocks are definitely tripping me up. If people think it reads fine then I will be happy to remove that!
