1. British English: 'favour' not 'favor', 'colour' not 'color'. Small but they matter. 2. Consistency: pick one tone and keep it. Formal opening lines next to casual sign-offs jar. 3. The RSVP line: always include a deadline and a method. 'Kindly reply by 1 August at emma-rsvp.ourguestbook.co.uk' is clear. 4. Less is more: if it takes more than thirty seconds to read, it's too long.
