Invitation Critique and Paper Weight Help!

amonis · January 2012

Hey ladies! So I FINALLY finished our invites tonight and thanks to the vistaprint groupon I have decided to go with them 100%. So, I need your help critiquing it and making sure I didn't make any mistakes and that it looks good.

Also, I know many of you have ordered invites from there. What paper thickness did you choose? Is their standard paper ok or should I go for the premium cardstock or linen? I have no idea which one to go with.

Here is the invite for you comments/suggestions (I squished our last names and location):

I bought that Groupon too! I requested to VP wedding kit and I liked the linen paper the best. I'll be going with that.

This may be super specific, but I think the "n" in ninth should be a lower case letter since it's not at the beginning of the line or a proper noun.

I would also either add the word "on" before Saturday for consistency, or eliminate the word "at" before the time so the preposition use is the same throughout.

They look great! I hope that helps!

EDIT: spacing

I think ninth should be capitalized. You're using the before it as a specific thing.

I agree with both of these suggestions.

I don't think the article makes a difference. If you were to say the runner was in the second starting block, the <em>second</em> wouldn't be capitalizied there.<div>

</div><div>I agree, only because it sounds like you are inviting them only to the ceremony. Specifically: the exchange of vows, even though it says, "reception to follow" at the end. Maybe something like marriage celebration or even just marriage.
