Wedding Invitations

This may seem silly to some of your, but if you are interested in a bit of trivia, there is an old
superstition that getting married on the half hour would bring good
fortune since the minute hand is ascending towards heaven, whereas
being married on the hour would lead to a bad marriage since, as with
the minute hand, it is all downhill from there. It was also thought
that being married at noon might be best as both hands were in the
praying position.

If your wedding is held at seven o’clock, the time line in your wedding invitation simply
reads, “at seven o’clock.” The time for a wedding held at seven thirty
reads, “at half after seven o’clock.” You can add, “in the morning,”
“in the afternoon,” “in the evening” although most of the time it is
obvious which it is and is so is not necessary. If you think there
could be any confusion, by all means include it. If you wedding is at
twelve o’clock it obviously means noon, but it you want to expand on
that time you should indicate “twelve o’clock in the afternoon,” not
“twelve o’clock noon.”

If you are being married at 7:45, the way to word that is “at three
quarters after seven o’clock. If that wording while correct seems
awkward, you might want to change the time of the wedding to seven
thirty or eight o’clock when composing your wedding invitations.
