We often see the use of symbols to represent words. If time is not used, any of the following formats are acceptable:.If you use numerical time, use a numerical date. In other words, when spelling out the time, spell out the date. If time is used on the accessory card, be consistent with the date.Month and year should not be separated by a comma.Year is printed on a separate line and may be omitted, if desired.
Day of the week and date should be separated by a comma.Date should be preceded by the day of the week, spelled out.If time is not provided, you may spell out the date, abbreviate it, or use a numerical date. On the accessory cards, date and time formats should be consistent. The use of “immediately” and a time is redundant.ĮX: “Reception immediately following ceremony” is correct, whereas “Reception immediately following ceremony at six o’clock in the evening” is incorrect. “Immediately” may be used as a substitute for time.When numerals are used, they should be followed by “a.m.” or “p.m.” (Note: lowercase and periods).Time may be spelled out, following the invitation rules above, or numerals may be used.Time should always be followed by “in the morning”, “noon”, “in the afternoon”, “in the evening”, or “midnight”.EX: “two-thirty” instead of “two thirty” or “two forty-five” instead of “two forty five”. Time, not on the hour, should be hyphenated.Do not use “o’clock” if the time is not on the hour.Time, on the hour, should be followed by “o’clock” (Note: lowercase and apostrophe).Invitations require time to be spelled out, whereas numerals may be used on accessory cards. They should always be separated from the last name by a comma. “Junior” or “Senior”, when used in a name, are correctly abbreviated “Jr.” or “Sr.”.Numerical time should use the abbreviations “a.m.” and “p.m.”.
