Default AHR Invitations Wording

We are having an AHR and those are the only invitations we are sending out, we want to send them out prior to our wedding so it will be an announcement / invitation. My parents are not involved so they will not be mentioned in the invitation. Does anyone have any good ideas on how to word it in a creative way? We will probably go really cheap on these invitations since our funds are limited. But I don't want it to seem cheap, most of the invitation kits available at Walmart, Target, craft stores have been used by our close friends recently and we don't want to duplicate. We don't have access to any power points or photoshop so we don't have the ability to do any of the others I've seen when doing a search on here. Any suggestions or ideas?

Thank you!

You can do the boarding passes in Word... That is how I did them. If you are interested, there are a bunch of threads about them...

I would just say something like

"Meet the Joneses!

Please join us in celebrating our marriage upon our return from Jamaica or wherever) -- where we became husband and wife."

I don't like that last part, but anyway ... it's a start.

And then just details of the AHR.

It's been awhile but I thought I'd update this post with what we ended up going with. We just sent one invitation. Here is the wording we used:

Bride's Name and Groom's Name
Will begin their lives as husband and wife
on March 21, 2008 along the shores of the Mayan Riviera
in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico

They request the honor of your presence to share in the celebration of their marriage Saturday, April 5, 2008 at 8:00 pm

Venue Name
Venue address

Pretty simple but it worked for us..
