Proofreading Checklist

Please carefully proofread your material. Allow yourself time and quiet. Do not rush.

Try not to be distracted while you are proofreading. Even a simple three-line invitation needs your full attention. Mistakes happen under the best of circumstances, but we can, at least, try to minimize those mistakes.

In particular we ask that you check:

 Dates (be sure that the day of the week corresponds to the date)

 Times (include a.m. or p.m.)

 Spelling of names, addresses, all proper nouns

 Correct Titles

 Room Numberswith Location

 Phone Numbers. Please pick up the phone to make sure you have the correct extension
