    So, I have scowered the internet/blogs/friends/ etc to find great invite wording. I have compiled everything and come up with 2 examples that I really like.

    Which one do you bees like better, would you change or add anything??
    PS, it isnt 100% done. This is my almost finished product kinda thing. Clearly the alignment might be different, once I get it into word and everything.

    We are a fun loving couple, not to stuffy. So I didnt want to make the invite TOO formal. bc that, we are not.

    Thank you!! :)

    Example 1:

    He proposed to her on bended knee,
    He asked “will you travel through life with me?”
    Megan S____
    Said “YES!” to
    Cory T____.
    Together with their parents,
    They invite you to share in their joy,
    On one of life’s lovliest journies – Love.
    Saturday, the fifth of May
    Two thousand and twelve
    At one thirty in the afternoon at

    Example 2:

    How beautiful is the day that is touched by love….
    Together with our parents, we
    Megan S____
    And

    I like both but the first one seems more original and sticks out to me more.

    The first one is more personal - but you'll need to correct the spelling

    Life's loveliest journeys

    (sorry, I'm anal about spelling lol)

    I will preface this by saying I have weird pet peeves, so maybe this is just me, but in option 1 I can't stand that the first two lines rhyme, and I'm not crazy about "Love" coming right after "loveliest"...too much sound repetition.

    But I think option 2 sounds beautiful, and it's definitely not too stuffy. It sounds friendly, romantic and natural. The first one's a bit like a Hallmark card Embarassed
