Default Informal(ish) invite wording/evening wording

Help me ladies! My extremely talented friend is designing and making our invites, but I am struggling with the wording. Our wedding isn't super formal, but it is still fairly traditional. My (the brides) parents are hosting it, but I don't want the wording to be too stuffy, if you get what i mean.
Has anyone any suggestions based on that vaguest of descriptions .

Also, we are having a fair amount of evening only guests, I can't seem to find anywhere with fairly informal evening invite wording. Links/suggestions all welcome.

and we'd love you to share their special day.

Please RSVP to <parents names> by <date> to <address>

I missed out a middle bit on this... How about:

Eileen and Stewart are tying the knot on 30th September 2006 at <venue>
and we'd love you to share their special day.

Marriage at <ceremony venue>, at <time>
and afterwards at <reception venue>.

Please RSVP to <parents names> by <date> to <address>[/

Tasha - I am fairly certain you can find wording if your parents are seperated or divorced, even if one or both has new partners. You can either choose one of them to host eg:

Bride's parents separated or divorced
(but still sharing surname)


Mr. Jeremy Smythe
and
Mrs. Jane Smythe
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their daughter
Sarah Katherine
to
Mr. Michael John Williams
at St. Mary's Church, Knightsbridge,
on Saturday 11th September
at 2.30 o'clock
and afterwards at
The Savoy Hotel.

Bride's parents divorced, mother remarried, hosting wedding together

Mr. Jeremy Smythe
and
Mrs. David Cox
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their daughter
Sarah Katherine
to
Mr. Michael John Williams
at St. Mary's Church, Knightsbridge,
on Saturday 11th September
at 2.30 o'clock
and afterwards at
The Savoy Hotel.

Bride and groom hosting their own wedding

Miss Sarah Katherine Smythe
and
Mr. Michael John Williams
request the pleasure of your company
at their marriage
at St. Mary's Church, Knightsbridge,
on Saturday 11th September
at 2.30 o'clock
and afterwards at
The Savoy Hotel.

Hey I really like the wording of your invites, whereabouts in Canada are you? We travelled across your country a few years ago and fell in love with it!!
