Are you supposed to capitalize the year on invitiations?

Looking back right now, I didn't capitalize on mine. I have also seen it both ways, and honestly, it is one of those things that I don't think any one way is "wrong enough" to matter or stick out so I think it just comes down to your own personal preference.

That was sort of the conclusion that I was coming to.. that if I found so many examples of each, that it couldn't be terribly important!

Thanks MrsO!

Check out invitation samples online, like from birchcraft or carlson craft.

Saturday, May eleventh, two thousand thirteen

or,

Saturday, the eleventh of May, two thousand thirteen

FWIW, Miss Manners (I love her column!) says you don't need the year-- that people should just *know* you're not sending them out over a year in advance. From a historial POV, it could be really awesome if somebody's great-grandkids came across a treasured invite and saw the year!

I wouldn't capitalize it.

Although we used an all-lower case font for that section of our invites anyway, so I guess we cheated.

Personally I prefer:

Saturday, the eleventh of May

two thousand thirteen

b/c it looks more symmetrical and sounds nicer than:

Saturday, May eleventh

two thousand thirteen

but that's just me.
