October 2012 Weddings

Invitation Opinions please

I've been working on our invitations the past few days.  I was hoping you ladies could tell me what you think.  They fold up and become their own envelope with the response card at the bottom being a tear off postcard.  

Here is a link (<-clicky) to my photobucket since sometimes it doesn't bring it up very big on TK

I know that techically FI's dad shouldn't be mentioned on the invitation since he is deceased. This was one of those "Choose your battles" situations.  When I showed FI's mom the invites (purely so she felt somewhat involved) she said something about either including his dad or not including any parents names.  My parents are hosting and it was important to me to have them on there.  However I feel wierd listing them but not FI's mom.  Wording it as I did makes it just a statement of parentage.  She's not paying so I know she doesn't really get much of a say, but I've shot down a bunch of her other ideas (because I really really didn't like them and/or they were rude).  I figured no one is getting hurt if I include him.

So, all that being said...is there anything I should consider changing? Punctuation? Spelling?
There will be an insert with the reception information and our website since I can't fit it in on the invitation itself.  I just haven't figured out how to make it so the insert doesn't fall out of the invitation.

Thank you for reading all the way through this and for any help/advice you can give me.

    I like those! A friend of mine did the same style of invite (postcard at the bottom) and it was so convienent! I couldn't find where to get them though....

    The wording is nice. You may want to say "four thirty in the afternoon" but I don't think it's necessary. And I prefer "Saturday, the twentieth of October" but that's just me :)

  • Cute! Couple of suggestions:

    1) Can you make the Christi & Joe portion larger. It just looks odd to me that's is so small and there's so much space there.
    2) Remove "on" from on Saturday...
    3) Remove "at" from the time 
    4) You don't have an RSVP-by date.

    1) I can try.  The website (Ann's Bridal Bargains btw) kind of does the font sizing automatically.
    2 and 3) Ok
    4) It's on the response card. "Please let us know if you will join our celebration by October 6th 2012"

    ETA: Aimee, I thought about having "in the afternoon" but it didn't seem necessary since no one I know of gets married at 4:30 in the morning. Thanks for your response though

  • Okay..so changes made.


    That was the biggest I could get the names.  Once I took out the "At" it looked weird to have just "Four thirty" by itself on the line so I added  the " In the afternoon"

    Better on the second time....maybe that's why in the afternoon looks better...fills up more space :)

  • I love it. Just have one question - what if people are RSVPing no? You don't seem to have an option for that on the RSVP.
