definitely agree with Cinnamon Roll - use 'to' instead of 'and' between your names!
I agree with the "to", and I'd suggest an 'and' between your fiance's parent's names. My daughter used almost your same exact format and now I'm second guessing her choice of listing her (divorced) FI dad's name before her FI's mom's name...
sorry, i forgot to mention - it's a jewish wedding. jews use "and" instead of "to" between the bride's and groom's names because judaism sees a marriage as two people joining together, not the bride being married off TO the groom. so that wording needs to stay as it is.
thank you for the close reading. anything else?
Looks good overall I think. Most of the things I found are personal preference and just little style things.
A couple of little things you just might want to double check:
1. I've seen 28th spelled out with a hyphen (twenty-eighth)
2. I've seen the year in all lower case letter, even the first "t"
3. What about using "and" before the groom's father's name? Or you could put "son of" on its own line and then put "<name> and <name>" on one line.
@jalter (and others here) Catholics also use "and" instead of "to" for the same reason you listed. Just a helpful fyi.
Oh, and also, I don't think you need o'clock.
at half past seven in the evening -- that should be fine.

Hi all! I would really appreciate a second/third/tenth set of eyes on my invitation wording to see if I missed anything and if everything is capitalized and punctuated properly. Please note: I changed everyone's names/other identifying info to protect privacy. :) And also my fiance's parents are divorced, which is why you see the wording for his parents as it is. Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks!
