Which wording is better for the reception card.  If it makes any difference the invites are worded:  Me & Fi request the pleasure of you company at their wedding , date time place, ect.  Also can you use the & symbol or should you spell it out?

1
To help us celebrate please join us for the reception at six o'clock in the evening.

2
The pleasure of your company is requested at the receptions at six o'clock in the evening.

3
Please join us for dinner and dancing at six o'clock in the evening.

I also planned on putting the late night snack info and complementary valet and coat coat on the card.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

    1. I think you should spell and out and not use the & sign.

    2. I'm not a huge fan of the word "request" for wedding invites. It's like a demand. I like something like " Jane Doe and John Doe invite you to share in the joy of the marriage uniting them as they begin their new life together..."

    3. So for the RSVP card choices my choice is #3. #1 is ok, don't like #2 because it has alot of the same words as the wording for the invite and the word request.

    GL!

    I prefer number three, as it lets guests  know what sort of reception you're having.  If you're having a bar, you might even say "drinks, dancing, and dinner".  Since you're not supposed to use abbreviations for formal invitations, I say no "&".
