Answer 4

If you are going with elegant you need to have a seperate RSVP card with postage on the envelope.  It is tacky to put your number on the invite.  Otherwise the wording for the invite sounds beautiful.  Have fun!

Answer 5

If you are going for elegant, don't put your phone number on the invitation.  You may need a separate RSVP card.
