  I think you can do either, but usually you do write them out. Did it come with a template, or did you have to figure out the margins, etc yourself. We did DIY invites from Wal-Mart and we were able to download the zip files from the manufacturers website so we could type what we wanted within the correct margins/borders. I would look on the package and see if you can find anything like that on there to help you with this.
  
  And, I wouldn't probably put "please reply by June 26" on the actual invitation, that is what the rsvp/reply cards are for. That might help save you a line that you could write the date out. HTH

  Since you're including response cards, you don't need the line about responding at the bottom.
  
  That would give you an extra line and then you could write out the date. I don't think the date style you've used is horrible, but since you have the extra line now anyway, I'd go ahead and do it the traditional way.
  
  Traditional invitations also don't normally have the street address --- just the city and state. So if you're including directions cards, you can eliminate the street address, though I would keep it if you're not sending directions cards.

  Bolded text is what I changed; spell out the date, the street and the state. Put your reply text on the reply card, reception text on the reception card.

  How formal is your wedding? For a more informal one, staying with digits vs. spelled out words for date is o.k. If you are having white tie, then spell them out.
  
  Good luchk!

  Agreed with the above, remove the reply by at the bottom, its not needed if you are sending seperate cards.
  Saturday, July 31st, 2010 should be written out Saturday the thirty first of July two thousand and ten. two o'clock should be at two o'clock in the afternoon.
