Invitation wording

I forgot to mention it earlier, but the invitations are long (just like a regular bill) so we could get cheaper envelopes, but also because we wanted it to look like a plane ticket. You know the cover they put your tickets in? Well that was the cover, and inside we added the tickets: annoucement or cocktail or reception (see post about guest list), which were held by a little triangle in the bottom left corner.

Ok, now wording:
In France, the grand parents and parents annouce the wedding of their children. On the left side it is the bride's family and on the right the groom's. Then you mention the ceremony time and location. Then on another piece of paper you can either invite for the cocktail or the reception. For the reception insert, both mom's invite the guests.
Announcement

Cocktail

Dinner

For the english side, we decided on the parents announcing the wedding of their children, no cocktail insert because everyone coming from the US is of course invited to dinner, and the reception insert. Announcement

Cocktail + Dinner
