Help on invite wording

Yes, it's another question from me (sorry)...

My Dad passed away when I was about three so the invites will be coming from my Mum only (never remarried).  Also we are getting married and having the reception in the same place...  No idea how to word it.  Found this wording but don't like it (changed the names to sommat silly - that is not my future husbands name or my Mum's name!)  Oh and my name isn't Gertrude...

Mrs. Ethel Ethelson

requests the pleasure of
_______________________________
company
at the marriage of her daughter
Gertrude
to
Mr. Ernie Ernieson

at Somewhere
on Friday 10th September 2010
at 2.00pm
and reception afterwards at
Somewhere else

Personally I quite like the wording you have above although, if you are having the ceremony and reception in the same place, I would just amend to:

Mrs. Ethel Ethelson

requests the pleasure of
_______________________________
company
at the marriage of her daughter
Gertrude
to
Mr. Ernie Ernieson

at Somewhere
on Friday 10th September 2010
at 2.00pm
and to the reception afterwards

I think this has a formal ring to it but not too ott

I think it sounds fine. Don't forget to look in the stationary - wording examples, of the hitched site. That might help

For this circumstance I usually use the following wording:

Mrs. Ethel Ethelson

requests the pleasure of  the company of

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

at the marriage of her daughter
Gertrude
to
Mr. Ernie Ernieson

at venue name and location
on Friday 10th September 2010
at 2.00pm

followed by a reception (or There will be a reception to follow)

Thanks guys - just a minefield for me!  Muchos appreciated. x
