    Your wording sounds great overall.  I would just make a few changes with capitalization (you don't have to capitalize at the start of every line) and writing out the time.  Based on what I have read on these boards before, you only want to use "the honor of your presence" if you are getting married in a church (I'm not sure if "The Chapel" is a church or not).  Otherwise, you should use "the pleasure of your company".  Honestly, most guests probably wouldn't know the difference, but if you want to be a stickler for etiquette, that is what is recommended.

  • I agree with PP. Make sure you have someone else double check the spelling of names before you complete the order.

  • I like your wording, and unless you are going super formal, I wouldn't mind leaving it as 7:30 instead of half past seven..  Just my opinion!!
