OK I can't figure out how to do a poll so I will just give you the three I have and if anyone has any suggestions on a better way to word it please let me know. I need to work in that this will be a very casual reception.
Ok first off is 6 o'clock considered afternoon or evening? I just noticed I have afternoon but shouldn't it be evening?:confused: Also two of them are the same the only thing different is I wrote out the words for the date instead of just the numbers. I was trying to make it more informal and casual.
Also the location is going to be under the pavillion at the ballfield in Belvidere. How do I word that. Just like I did or is there a better way?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!:D

Six o'clock is considered evening. As for your location I would say "At the Belvidere Ballfield Pavilion". By they way, I like #2.

I like the first one. 6 o'clock is in the evening and I think you should write out the date. Other than that, it looks beautiful!

OK, I agree with the 6o'clock in the evening and they way Lacey wrote the location. As for which one I like better, well, the date written out is more common, but if you want somethign really informal, I like the date with the numbers, but that's just me!!!

Thank you all!
I liked the second one the best myself. I will definetly change the afternoon to evening.:D
I think the date written out looks nicer too, but I worry that it will make the person feel like it is a more formal affair. I would be happy if everyone showed up in everyday clothes. Nothing fancy.

I'm not real in love with the word fun in there. Does anyone have any suggestions? Nothing sounds quite right.
Also if you got this in the mail would you assume that we are already married and you are being invited to the reception, not the ceremony?

I think it sounds like it's just the reception. I'll have to think on another word for fun and get back to you.

Instead of fun maybe spirits or joy...I looked it up in the thesaurus and couldn't find something that sounded real great either. It's kind of a hard word to replace in that situation. Maybe just a casual evening...
I think it sounds like it's just a reception. It is very beautiful wording.

That does sound good but it sounds more like they are invited to the ceremony and the reception, but thank you. I always call Dan Danny Dean when he is doing something he shouldn't. Which sometimes is quite often! LOL! I like it as your middle name and I think it is great you kinda started a tradition with your daughter. I like it!:D
