  Your capitalization looks fine.  Don't captialize the year.  It's neither a proper noun nor the first word of a sentence.
  
  Personally, I prefer the American spelling of honor and favor.  After all, you are in the US and I think using the British honour and favour comes off as a little stuffy.

  The only issue I see is the time, as well.  We're also putting the "u" in honour and favour.  I'm the only girl.  This is the only family event without camo, baseball hats, or cocktail weenies.  I really am ok with stuffy.

  Just the time.    Are you getting married in a church?  We're getting married outside so we have "pleasure of your company" but in a church you're right in saying "honor or your presence". 
  
  As far as the year - I've heard you don't have to capitalize it, but who knows lol.
  
  Looks great!!

  Uh oh, I forgot to type the time!  Thanks for catching that!  Whew!!! 

  
  

  two thousand and eleven

  at six o'clock in the evening

  
  

  
  

  It's a church wedding and people are traveling about 15 minutes down the road to our favorite steakhouse for the reception (they have a big private suite with a dancing room and a dinner room, etc, it's HUGE!).  

  
  

  We're a little undecided about the extra "u" in honor and favor.  Mom likes it a bit more stuffy, though, so I guess with the informal seal-n-send, that was our compormise!  :-)

  
  

  Mom is going to print it out from the internet site we're ordering from to proof it... Since it's only going to be like $112 for the invitations, if we make a mistake it can be fixed with very little $$, so we're trying to proof it as much as we can before clicking "submit" on the order.  We looked locally and unfortunately they are all exorbitantly priced.  We're talking $500 and up.  We're getting everything we want, plus gratuity envelopes, plus personalized ribbons for the favors, and seals, for less than $300... actually I think the total was closer to $220.  :-)

  Looks good to me as well! Pretty similar to mine as I have all the information on one card and a "favour of reply" on a card
