Then, on a separate sheet of paper, we will include a map of how to get there and also some hotel/camping options.



Does this invitation sound ok?? The theme of the wedding is daisys and bright colors----bright pink, green, orange, yellow, and purple. We need saying for the top of the invitations that goes along with flowers and love. Can you tell me any that would go with this

Casual Wedding Invitations!?
"The honor of your presence" is too formal for a casual invitation. I would change it to "You are cordially invited to the marriage of". Also their names and the word and should all be on separate lines. Before the word Saturday, delete the word on. You don't need a saying for the top of the invitations, that would look very cluttered. Also you need to give an actual street address not say that it's five miles east of somewhere. Also the way you have the date and time are way too formal for this type of invite.



You are cordially invited to

the marriage of

Jennifer Jo Richards

and

Joshua Lamar Crippen

Reply:The invitation sounds perfect! Here is a saying for the front of your invitation:



"Love blooms more and more each day when nurtured with Love, Care, and Togetherness"
Reply:You can border the invitations with daisies, and follow the etiquette you prefer, although the above is to the book of etiquette, very correct.
Reply:If it's daisies %26amp; casual, why not something like

"She loves me" "He loves me" to go with the old daisy idea?

Then it says "With joyous hearts we invite you to attend

our wedding on _____"

Reply:I would just add the following suggestion



Still include an RSVP card rather than a phone number. A lot of people - myself being one of them - do not like to call people to RSVP. I am VERY BAD at picking up a phone - for anything. But I would very quickly and easily reply via an enclosed (stamped) reply card.
Reply:Skip "the honor of your presence". And I wouldn't do the "pleasure of your company" either. I saw this on one of the wedding invite sites - (try searching some)



"With joyous hearts we

invite you to attend our wedding"



OR



"How beautiful is the afternoon

that is touched by love"

Jennifer Jo Richards

Reply:My fiancee and I sent out casual invites. Follow what the first answerer said. I just wanted to add that I put this for the beginning... Please join us for a day of family, friendship, laughter, and love, as we, John Doe and Jane Deer exhange wedding vows...

Reply:The phrase "the honor of your presence" cannot be used under these circumstances. That phrase can only be used if you are getting married "in a house of worship."



You've got several errors, I suggest following this format





The pleasure of your company

is requested at the marriage of

Mary Anne Smith

and

Jonathan Edward Warner

Sunday, the second of June

Two thousand and seven

at six o'clock

at the residence of

Mr and Mrs Ralph Edmond Smith

14 Riverstone Lane

Anytown, New York (no zip code, no state abbreviation)





All of the above should be centered



Put this in the lower left hand corner

Outdoor ceremony and reception

RSVP 123-456-7890



Telling your guests to come "in casual dress" is NOT a good idea. They will come to your wedding in advertising T-shirts, flip flops, bib overalls, cargo pants, halter or brief tops, fishing hats, and hunting clothes. You have put a lot of time and effort into your wedding and you, the Bride and Groom, should dress appropriately and so should your guests.

Party on Highway 15!



And forego the rest.
