    Two thousand and nine means 2000.9.  But it's becoming more acceptable so if you like how it looks written like that, no one will notice except maybe your etiquette-aware grandma.

    Yup, what Grey56 said. Two thousand nine is technically correct.

    I believe it's two thousand nine. Of course, I figured this out after I put "two thousand and nine" on my invitations.

    I used two thousand and nine on my invites, that how Mindy Weiss put wording in her "Wedding Book", but I have since heard two thousand nine is correct.  Oh well, I dont think people will notice either way :)

    Luckily, I came across this post before I had my invites printed! After doing a bunch of google searches, I will be using "two thousand nine"... I doubt anyone will notice otherwise, though :)
