    Hey bees!

    I wanted to get some feedback as I'm designing my own invitations/enclosures and want to know if this looks ok so far.  This is the rehearsal dinner enclosure for the night before the wedding.  The plan is for the rehearsal dinner to be at my parents backyard (as the wedding is in my hometown) and FI's parents have offered to pay for the rehearsal dinner.  This is meant to be a pretty casual affair and a "drop-in" type thing since we have a lot of out-of-town guests.  We're having it catered by a local sandwich/soup/salad place and I definitely want everyone to feel like dress is casual attire.  Let me know what you think of the below, and if things seem to be in the proper "order."  I also plan to include a little response card that people can mail back to us (along with the RSVP card for the actual wedding).  So this is getting mailed as one of the enclosures with the rest of the invitation.  Thanks in advance, bees!
