I am also including a card with directions to the reception place.
Please critique.

ooh, I like it!

three comments:
1 - harper's middle name is babbel?
2- you probably don't need to say "please be prompt" if you say dinner is served at 6:30.
3 - it's not really clear who is invited to the ceremony and who's invited to only the reception. you should probably say "you are invited to attend a reception at...."

Please make special cards for some of my family stating one forty pm, as they won't understand forty past one. Trust me on this one.

I like Poodle's comments. I do think "please be prompt" is not quite appropriate, even though I would like to put it. It could say dinner is served promptly at 6:30.

Oh, I LOVE the drawing you did, and the invitation. It's very classy!

I'd take out brandon's midddle name.

1. Yes, his middle name is Babbel. He really likes to make people guess it, but I don't think it's fair, because nobody has ever guessed Babbel, for obvious reasons.
2. Okay, I can put one forty instead.
3. I am having a separate insert for the sealing, but I can put "you are invited" on the reception part.
4. I can eliminate "please be prompt," but I will be mad if people show up late and think it's a stand-in-line reception.

Brandon's sister still has final say on the editing.

Also, I'm not sure if I should put 'please' with 'RSVP.' 'Repondez s'il vous plait' means 'please respond,' so it feels redundant.

MOM THE BOMB said...

First, you can count on people being late no matter what you tell them. I think it's clear (and I've told all of my family) that it is a sit-down dinner. If they can't figure that out, well they'll have to miss out.

Second, nobody in MY family knows the French translation of RSVP, (other than Sidona and Vanessa)so I don't think it's redundant, but rather polite.

Very pretty!!! But here are my suggestions. I wouldn't put the time of the sealing b/c everyone will show up even if they aren't specifically invited to the ceremony. If people are late then that's their fault, and if there is no line I'm pretty sure they won't go looking for one. I also agree with everything Poodle said.

i'm keeping my big mouth shut - but i can tell you that reading the invitation was the highlight of my night on Tuesday

Lindsey said...

in that case, I REALLY want to hear it.

MOM THE BOMB said...

Yes, I agree that you should just announce that you are being married in the SL temple that day. The little insert cards are to tell people they are specifically invited to the ceremony. Could save a lot of confusion.

make invitations that self-destruct in 30 seconds. That would be neato!
