Re: Please proof my invite
Usually I've seen "son of Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" all on the same line.
The times should be half after two o'clock.
You might also want to call it Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church to clue in guests that it will be a Catholic ceremony (and therefore not short).
[QUOTE]1. Mr. and Mrs. must have the period after the titles. 2. No bride's last name unless it is different from the parent's last name. 3. No "Mr." or last name for the groom IF you list his parents, unless his lastname is different from theirs. 4. Do not capitalize the year. 5. "half after two o'clock" Not that you asked, but that is a very large time gap between your ceremony and your reception. What are your guests supposed to do for three hours?

I agree with all of the above and would like to suggest one more: Use numerals for the street address of the club. I believe, when the number expands beyond a single digit, it it permissable not to write out the full text.
For an address over 10, you aren't supposed to write out the address in words, so for your reception site, it should be 225. It is super hard to read all written out.
