I am writing out our invitations using calligraphy and I can't seem to come up with words that aren't too corny...can someone help? It's just a casual party at my mother's house.

Unless someone has specifically ASKED for this information, then it is rude to bring the topic up oneself, or on behalf of your family. It not only looks greedy, it IS greedy. Tell the bride to do here RSVPs by phone, and to put helpers to work taking and making the calls. During the call, the helpers will deal with those details which have no place in the invitation: How dressed up should we get? Will there be booze? Would you like fish or chicken? Can my 12 year old bring her 13 year old boyfriend that she met last week? and of course Where are they registered? Under what name? No, the bride does not just sit on her bustle hoping that people will call. She is proactive is reminding people of their manners. For those who do not acknowledge your invitation in two weeks, your helpers call to find out whether it was lost in the mail, or perhaps misaddressed. Once it is ascertained that invitation has indeed been received, then your helpers immediately follow up with "When may the couple (or the hosts) expect your responce? Never never announce a deadline. A deadline simpy insures that everyone will dawdle until the last minute. The answer to "What's the latest?" would be "As soon as possible. The hosts are naturally eager to know who will be attending. Would you know in two weeks?" If people don't ask what sort would be appreciated -- and some won't -- then one must make up ones mind to be properly appreciate of their generosity, no matter poorly the gift was chosen. In the thank you notes, it's OK to mention that "David's mom is hanging onto the soup tureen until we get up there for a visit" in the note. I'm glad that you are the one dealing with this woman and not me. Good luck.
