I love it. As for what to put on the insert. I'm blank. I didn't really do that.
Cute invites!
There's something about "Eat, drink and merriment" that sounds awkward to me. Can you say, "Dinner, drinks and merriment" or "Hors d"Oeuvres, drinks and merriment" or something other than "eat"?
I would also get rid of the colon at the end of "to celebrate the wedding of:"
One other small thing: when you say "Because you have shared in our lives..." do you mean your parents lives? Because that is what's implied by the next few lines where the parents do the inviting (If it were a normal, non-wedding invitation sentence it would read, "Because you have shared in our lives with friendship and love, we [your parents] request the pleasure of your company..."). If the "our" is meant to refer to you and your fiance, then the inviting line should probably be changed to "Together with our families." Does that make sense?
I would actually prefer not to do the details card...but I can't figure out where to put 'Check out our wedding website for details' since I don't really want to put that on the actual invite.

I like it, but:
I think you could add a small line at the bottom for the wedding website if you don't want to do an extra card. Or just pass out the website by word of mouth if you can? I love the invites the way they are.
Sorry for the double post.
@ hergreenapples- I understand what you are saying. This is where I am struggling. I mean it to say in our lives, not our parents lives... I was hoping that having the hearts in between would clear that up and not mean it as though my parents are saying that. Not sure how to get around that though, since I don't want to say 'together with our parents'
Perhaps something like this:
Because of your friendship, support,
and love over the years
Mr. & Mrs. ABC
&
Mr. & Mrs. XYZ
Request the pleasure of your company
to celebrate the union of their children:
Maybe you could just say "because you shared your friendship and love" or something similar to avoid mentioning "our". I agree that the hosts are the speaking voice and "our" would refer to them.
I also don't like "eat" as a noun.. you might want to say "Dinner, drink, & merriment", "dinner and dancing" or "eat drink and be merry".
Also, I really like the colors! are you going to keep the blue down the bottom? I think it really helps with balancing the blue heart up top without havign to use blue font which could be hard to read.
Okay, I definitely agree about the "eat" comments.
Maybe I'll change that to- Immediately following: Eat, drink, be merry
Still not sure how to work out that first part. Maybe I should just cut it all together. I really liked it though...I need to think that out some more I guess.
Re: the "formal adult event" it is quite formal, as it is at a 5 star restaurant...but we did put that line in there only to let people know we don't want any kids at the wedding.
What about "Black-tie Adult Only Ceremony and Reception" instead of "Formal adult....". That way people will know it's formal and that kids aren't allowed.
What if I put just "Adult only ceremony & reception" ?
That is what I wanted to put originally, but my mom thought it was harsh.

I have been struggling with our wedding invite wording for so long. I need to put this issue to rest and move on. Here is a mockup...any comments?
Also, I am not sure what all to put on the 'details' insert. I'm thinking hotel, location of wedding, wedding website. Anything else?
Thanks everyone!
