wedding invitation wording: when is it evening?
Thursday, July 10th, 2008
Reader Question: What is the time that the wording changes from “..in the afternoon” to “…in the evening” on my wedding invitation?
Event Engineer Answer: I won’t lie, this stumps me too. I did a little research just to be clear and continued to be stumped. The most accurate answer to this question would be sundown=evening. But in the real world, we don’t call 7pm in the summer “afternoon” when sundown is around 8:30pm, do we?
So the general consensus is that after 6pm, you may consider that evening. It’s a general rule of thumb. Thanks for the question! If anyone has anything better to add here…we’d love to hear it!
