Our invitations were very traditional, just what I wanted. I was lucky that at the time I worked for a bank which had a million dollar contract with a local printer, so they did my invites for free

We only needed 7 invitations, so I have almost 20 leftover.
The invites read:
Jennifer __ and Jonathan __
together with their parents
(Parents names)
request the honour of your presence
at their wedding
Thursday, the twentieth of October
Two thousand and five
three o'clock in the afternoon
Wilderness Lodge Resort
Walt Disney World
Lake Buena Vista, Florida
DH and I made our announcements - that was a ton of work!! I put them on pretty card stock with ribbon and a silver charm. They said:
Just Married!
(Parents names)

the happy news that their children
Jennifer and Jonathan
were married in a small ceremony
on October 20, 2005

Jennifer is also the daughter of the late (mom)

Before my mom passed we had planned a casual at-home reception and the printer did my invites and RSVP cards free for that too. They were pretty in our wedding colors with burgundy ink. We canceled (it wasn't right to have a party so soon after mom passed) and I have 100 of these:
Because you have shared in their lives
through your friendship and love
(Parents names)
are happy to invite you to celebrate
the marriage of their children!
