We are having a destination wedding and I we want to make it clear to those few who may be unaware that we are having a celebration upon our return. I had help on this forum creating this invitation so I think I finally have them ready to order but I would like to have one last check before we order later tonight. I understand that we are not having a "reception", but a celebration of our marriage. It will not be like a wedding reception with the exception of favors in the form of cupcakes in small boxes. Also the luncheon is only 3 hours, do we need to make guests aware of this? Thanks so much!

@CMGragain‌ is better with this, but I will say that the "at luncheon" sounds extraneous. Your event is at 11:00 am; I think lunch is implied.

Thanks! Good point . . . I struggled for the longest time thinking of a way to word that better. Deleting it actually does seem to make the most sense. I think the overall look is better. I was trying to go for an invitation that was not super fancy or formal because the event is very casual.

With new wording, I also took the black and out of the save the dates. It looks much better with just the hearts.

I'd change the bottom date formatting to match the top. The spelling out of the date is more formal, and your invitation is more informal (and, it matches the top date format). I also think it would sound better to say "at the celebration of their marriage."

I like at the celebration of their marriage better, but I am not sure if the date at the bottom will look okay like that.

Now I am missing the May on that line.

Maybe I should just put, "will be married in Jamaica on May fifteenth"

Knottie37373131 · September 2014

Maybe this one is it?

I like the more casual way of wording the date. But that might be just me.

Now that I have realized that the restaurant was spelled wrong, and O'Clock should be O'clock. I am back at the original May 15, 2015 at the top and the spelling below.

It really doesn't matter whether or not you spell out the date. "eleven o'clock" should not be capitalized. It is very clear that this is not a wedding invitation, and that is what is most important. I think you are fine.

Thank you! I have finally ordered. Well, I just canceled and have to re-order because of the "O'clock." Now I am waiting to talk with the vista print representative, so I can get it at the same price. My promo code was for a first-time purchase but other than that I am happy to just be finished.
