I think the time is good where it is. I'd leave it like that. Although it seems to have a typo - sixy and no t in thirty.
Remove the zip code form the Ruth Chris address. Otherwise layout looks good.
Just a couple things. I just did all the obligatory research for our invitations. I found that if you are not getting married in a church you are supposed to say "pleasure of your company" So something like this (of course, all of the spacing is totally off on here):
Together with their parents,
blah blah
&
blah blah
Request the pleasure of your company
As they are joined in marriage
Saturday, the fifteenth of January
Two thousand and eleven
Half after four in the afternoon
PARADISE COVE
KO'OLINA RESORT
KAPOLEI, HAWAII
Reception dinner to follow
Half after six in the evening
500 ALA MOANA BOULEVARD
RESTAURANT ROW
HONOLULU, HAWAII
Of course all of this is not required, just what I found is typical. You are always free to word however you choose ;) Good luck!
I think the other suggesstions are good, and I think its so awesome your reception is there, its my favorite restaurant!
I would say half passed as well. I don't know if I would put "reception dinner" or just "dinner". Or "celebration dinner" might be more appropriate unless there is a party. Reception, to me, implies dancing and drinks.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I didn't put "half past" since i didn't want it to be so formal (our invites have orchids in the background.)
We are getting married in a chapel, but i changed up the address when i posted it on here.
Is there a reason why i should remove the zip code? is it because the ceremony site doesnt have a zip code? i actually dont know the actual address of our ceremony venue cause google maps does not show it AND my wedding planner hasnt responded back to my emails. Do you think i should omit both zipcodes? I thought it would help since half the guests are from out of town.
I have just always seen in all invitations without the zipcode listed. Not sure what the exact etiquette reason is, but I think it looks cleaner. My invites will feature orchids too! I grew up in HI and my dad always wanted me to get married at Ko'Olina - so jealous of you! I think it will be just lovely!!! Congrats!
Excerpt from "Invitation Etiquette - Zip Codes on Invitations" at invitationbox.com:
When writing the address for my event on my invitation, do I need to include the location’s zip code?
This question seems to be growing more and more popular lately and we are often seeing zip codes printed on our customer’s invitations. We thus thought we’d take a moment to share a little etiquette lesson with our readers.
When writing invitation text, traditional etiquette dictates that a zip code is not necessary to be printed on an invitation. A city and state printed on the line after the street address is sufficient. The purpose of zip codes is actually for USPS postal regulations for outgoing mail. For directional purposes, it is not needed on MapQuest, GPS, etc. A good rule of thumb is to remember that formal invitations should not have any numbers printed on them. If a number is printed it is written in long-hand numerical form. For example, July nineteenth, six o’clock, etc.
Incorrect:
112 North Main Street
Cary, NC 27513
Correct:
112 North Main Street
Cary, NC
So next time you’re writing your invitations, remember that a zip code is not needed.
@808mjm202: I was going to ask you if were from hawaii, given your username and pic! Yes, we're getting married on Ko'Olina at the Paradise Cove Crystal Chapel. It's GORGEOUS!!! It was originally going to be at Lanikuhonua, but January is rainy, so i moved it to a covered location. Thank you, i'm very excited! Thanks for the zip code information, my mind is boggled with so much ideas and details and that saved me some research time!!
I'm hoping this final edit is a good one! I really wished i could center this on here!!!

Okay ladies, my fiance and i are just having our closest family members (parents, grandparents, siblings, etc.) of 25 people at our wedding. Our reception will be a dinner at Ruth's Chris. I have no clue on how to word our reception information with the time. Do i put it on the same line as "reception dinner to follow" OR the next line like how i have it. I changed the info up a bit and don't mind the spacing - i copied from word and the spacing and fonts are different on there. THANK YOU!!!!!
