The Difference Between a Hebrew and an English Invitation

The majority of the invitations that I receive to Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and Weddings come in both Hebrew and English.

What's interesting about these invitations is that there is often little correlation between the English and Hebrew wording, other than a last name, maybe a date, and the general gist of things.

Here's an invitation I received yesterday, in English and translated Hebrew. This is entirely typical, reserved even.
