Hey Rach.

Here goes:-

Initial invite details:-
In my opinion, don't use Mr & Miss in the actual invite itself.... I know myself prior to getting wed, I was a "Ms" not a "Miss" but assumption would of been made that I was a Miss.
Plus, it always looks a little impersonal too.

Font:- I would suggest a different font for the detail as it doesn't quite go with your nice fancy font.

Time:- I personally wouldn't spell out the time or do it as a 24 hr clock. Do it as 2:00pm etc

RSVP:- Definately have a RSVP date.

Grammar on Dinner Reception card:- The first line should read "The menu is as follows:-" then have the menu details. Then "Please indicate, on your RSVP card, your preferences for each guest including your wine preference."
Also, the word "entertainment" on the bottom paragraph spans over 2 lines....

Midlands Evening Reception Card:- Time:- as before regarding the stating of the time.

RSVP Card:- You have 3 sides BUT you are planning on doing a postcard type which is only 2 sides and 1 has to be your address. Is the plainer one, for the Midlands evening reception? If so, might be an idea to state "blah and blah will/will not be able to accept the invitation to the Midlands Evening Celebration of the marriage of Rachel & Michael". You will also need to do a small print stating "circle/delete as appropriate" in respect to the will or will not bit.

I have to say I like the font. Not much to add to Missis except

1 - The 'evening' invites. I would personally (a) - remove the "evening" bit as you're not inviting people to the end of the day, although I get why you're saying that and (b) - your first sentence is too long - if it were me I'd try to chop it down somehow.

2 - For the people invited to both functions, don't forget an additional card to go in their invites inviting them to the "evening" do as well
