Non-traditional wedding invitation wording??

My fiance and I are making our own invitations for our wedding. We don’t want the traditional invite wording. We want something that represents us. We are really relaxed, humorous people. Also our wedding has a fall/autumn theme because it is in the end of September. Anybody know a good website or book that could help us with some fun wording??

Here is one I used for my sister’s wedding invites:
A warrant has been issued for your arrest. You are required to appear at the wedding of ____________ and __________ on ____________ at approximately ___________.
Failure to appear will cost you to miss out on good food and fun!!
Case__________ (I put my sister’s and her husbands birthdates here, like 012378092876, for a case number) in the charge of holy matrimony in the first degree. Then I put down something about the couple, where they are registered and I put the directions on there, since most of the guest were from out of town. I put down the RSVP contact number and I wrapped it up by saying:
If you don’t appear by __________ (the time of the wedding) you will be picked up and taken into custody.
Hope to see you there!!
There is also a site –www.wedding-invitation-plus.com/humourous_wedding_invitations.html–that I used for my mother’s friend’s son about a year ago. Try them out. Hope it helps.
