"The Honor of your Presence"

Subject
Description
This artifact is Amy Cicchino's wedding invitation.
The submitter told the following story about the artifact's creation:
"We printed our invitations ourselves, so we bought the design plain from the craft store. The phrasing is pretty standard, but we did debate how we could indicate children weren't welcome to the reception without being rude and I still feel the phrase "adult reception" is a little funny. Another memorable moment: Vinny was so excited to print invitations that he printed an entire set which contained a grammatical error (because he wouldn't wait long enough for me to proofread). The invitation you are seeing is actually our second wedding invitation due to that blunder."
