Hi all :)

We are having a destination wedding, inviting only family. . matter of fact, I only needed 6 invites. 
We rented a cabin in the Smoky Mountains. We will be married outside, with a dinner in the cabin afterward. It's not "formal" per-se, although I will wear a wedding dress and the mothers will wear dresses, men tuxes, etc . . for wedding and photo purposes. 
Anyway, I want the wording to be awesome - as any bride does. Please tell me what you think of this wording:

Me & Future Hubby
joyfully request 
the pleasure of your comany
as we are joined in holy matrimony
Saturday, date
at six o'clock
at the cabin location


Also, where should the wedding website be written on the invite? A separate card? Or at the bottom of the invite itself? 
The website is where all of the destination, accomodation, directions, maps, events, etc. info will be.

    I would recommend changing the wording to:
    The pleasure of your company is requested at the marriage of jhawkins and husband...
    I think invitations are not supposed to be in the first person.

    When the bride and groom are hosting their own wedding, etiquette says that they do not directly invite guests.  The invitation should be worded in the passive tense.  Like this:

    The pleasure of your company is requested
    at the marriage of
    Bride's Full Name
    and
    Groom's Full Name
    Saturday, the (date)
    at six o'clock
    Venue
    City, State

    Reception to follow

    (Separate card) For more information, please see the wedding website, http://www.theknot.com/bride&groom(etc.)

    You guys think that is OK? Should I change anything? Also, should the state name be spelled out like "Michigan" or is "MI" acceptable?

    Don't capitalize every single word in the lines "The pleasure of your company is requested" and "Saturday, the eleventh of October" and spell out the word "Michigan."

    Aside from that, they look fine.

    OK, thanks ! 

    It doesn't matter how many sites I look at, it seems I can never find the right info. Thank heaven for you ladies! :)

    Zip codes NEVER go on invitations.  They are only for the outer envelope!
    "Dinner to follow" is incorrect.  People will assume that there will be dinner after a 6:00 PM ceremony.  Use the traditional "Reception to follow."
    I have made many correction with lower case letters.
