  [QUOTE]I am really not a fan of cute poetry on a wedding invitation.  My initial reaction is - ugh!  You can do it of you feel you really must.  Sigh. You do have some capitalization errors. (Why the pink printing?  It is hard to read.)  Here is my edit: Together with their parents Brittany Lane Roy and Trever James Shields invite you to share the beginning of their new life together as they are united in marriage Thursday, the sixteenth of May two thousand thirteen  five o'clock Mandalay Bay Valley of the Falls 950 Las Vegas Boulevard South Las Vegas, Nevada

  <div>^------ Yes. "Together with their parents" should go first and I agree about the cutesy poem. Sounds more appropiate for a shower. But if you must, and your invitation is folded, I would suggest putting the poem on the front of the invites and the info inside. </div><div>Valley of the Falls is BEAUTIFUL, BTW!! I wanted to get married there but my FI hates Vegas. :) Congratulations!</div>

  I'm also not a fan of poems on invitations.  And while "double down" does refer to gambling, to me it doesn't relate to your wedding invitation at all.  CMGr's wording is perfect.
  
  I don't know if you have it correctly on your invitations, but the address for Mandalay Bay is 3950 (not 950) Las Vegas Bl South.

  I looked at your planning BIO and saw your save the dates - which have a Vegas theme to them.  Do your invites have this same theme?  My invitations aren't the standard wedding invitations.  That being said, here is an idea:
  
  

  BECAUSE YOU HAVE SHARED IN

  THEIR LOVE AND LAUGHTER

   

  Together with their parents

   

  Brittany Lane Roy

  and

  Trever James Shields

   

  invite you to join us

  as we exchange our wedding vows

   

  Thursday, the sixteenth of May

  two thousand thirteen

  at five o'clock in the afternoon

  Mandalay Bay

  Valley of the Falls

  950 Las Vegas Boulevard South

  Las Vegas, Nevada
