Proof my invites?

on Saturday, the tenth of August
Two thousand and thirteen
at two-thirty in the afternoon
Response Card:
We can't wait to celebrate with you!
Kindly respond by July 20, 2013

Re: Proof my invites?
-I think when you are listing married couples by their first names (as opposed to Mr. and Mrs. Bob Smith), you are supposed to list the woman's name first. The theory is that you don't separate the man from his last name. I found this one out after doing it wrong on all my STDS!
-I'm not sure that you should capitalize "Two thousand" on the invite or "Five-thirty" on the reception card.
-For the response cards, I would use accept(s) and decline(s), but that's just my personal preference.
Good luck! Again, I'm definitely no expert so I'd post on invites and paper if you need to double check anything. I'm ordering mine tonight too; Wedding Paper Divas is also having a sale. Hooray for a big check!
The 'two thousand' and 'five-thirty' are capitalized only because of the typeface used - it's an all-caps font (Serlio), and I thought it looked more balanced in caps than otherwise. And I totally thought I had accepts and declines, bah!

I know, so old fashioned, right? I think in most cases nobody notices these things except for one aunt who takes it very seriously. The capitalizations should be fine if it makes it look nicer!
