I like it!

Personal preference, but I like time and dates spelled out, as well as RSVP to state, "a response is requested before xx-xx-xx" or something like that... but as you stated it is casual, it is just a matter of personal style.

This is exciting!

Just wondering whether this expression is correct? In terms of grammar, shouldn''t it rather be "share in and celebrate the marriage..."?

Haven or other etiquette / invite wording mavens?
 
I like your wording better, it does sound better.

Thanks to both of you!
 
I agree with mscushion''s change and I also wanted to add that I''d write 5:00 in the evening rather than afternoon. That''s just a personal preference as I don''t know when afternoon ends and when evening starts.

I''m also assuming that you aren''t writing ''reply card enclosed'' anywhere in the invite? That was just added for us to know that we were reading the reply card wording, right?
