Wording for Invites
Ok, I suck. I'm terrible with "proper" wording for things. And I really didn't get the answer I was looking for when I asked Sharon Naylor and I was too busy to follow up with it at the time. So I'll try again. I'm open to suggestions so any imput would be great. For anyone who doesn't know, we're having our wedding in our backyard, a very laid back event. And I want the invites to reflect that. This is what I have so far. Very simple and to the point, but i'm not sure of the proper way to write it. What lines things are supposed to be on etc...

I like that a lot, too. Just make sure you say "celebrate" instead of celebrating. So:
Please join us as we
Lisa
and
Sam

or
