    Hi all, 

    Im going to be making my own invitations.  I will be using a pocketfold from cardsandpockets.com, and I wanted all of your opinions on the wording for the main invite.  Do you think that this is ok?  Im going to be inserting a reception/directions card with the address and other info.

    Looks great!  The only change I would suggest to keep it formal is:

    at half past four o'clock or at half past four in the afternoon

    I'm guessing the ceremony and reception are at the same place? If so, I think it's perfect!

    Looks good!

    I would probably change "their marriage" to "their marriage ceremony" or "their wedding"

    Also, technically there should be no "and" in the year.  It should say "two thousand ten" instead of "two thousand and ten". 

    and ditto what @cinnamonroll said about the time.

    If you want to be super-picky, technically you only use "the honor of your presence" when the marriage ceremony takes place in a church.  The (equally formal) verbiage for a non-church wedding (even if the officiant is religiously affiliated) is "the pleasure of your company."
