OK, what do you all think--is it five o'clock in the afternoon or five o'clock in the evening? I'm really struggling with this one and everyone I ask has a different response. Help!!

My wedding was at five and I had the same problem. I finally found a website that said evening does not begin until 6, so I went with afternoon.

I looked up the definition in multiple places. Here is the definition of evening from www.m-w.com Main Entry: 1eve·ning Pronunciation: 'Ev-ni[ng] Function: noun Usage: often attributive Etymology: Middle English, from Old English [AE]fnung, from [AE]fnian to grow toward evening, from [AE]fen evening; akin to Old High German Aband evening and perhaps to Greek epi on 1 a : the latter part and close of the day and early part of the night b chiefly Southern & Midland : AFTERNOON c : the period from sunset or the evening meal to bedtime 2 : the latter portion 3 : the period of an evening's entertainment ...makes me think that you should consider the location and time of year and whether the sun will have set already at 5 o'clock on your big day.

I just got a very formal wedding invitation that says Five o'clock in the evening. I don't know it could go either way, but five o'clock in the evening just sounds right to me. (?) Scintillating...

OH, I agree with RMS, I would bet that 5:00 could be evening depending on what time of the year your wedding is. If it's winter time, and it gets dark earlier, than 5:00 would be considered evening, but if it's summer time and the sun will still be up for hours, it's going to be afternoon. Good call RMS.

Thank you, ladies! All the stuff I have read says it is afternoon until 6:00. My invitation people told me it can go either way and it's really up to me. Since it is a formal winter wedding (February) and it will be getting dark by 5:00, I think I'm going to go with evening. It just sounds better to me!
