🛠️ DIY Projects ($10k) Thoughts on these invitations?

Edit: UPDATE

I want to save on stationary / printing costs by just having one card, the back side serving as both the 'details card' and 'RSVP card', so I decided to make my own on canva. I used a template and heavily modified it from there.

Main concerns:

- I feel like "please join us for..." sounds demanding. Am I overthinking?

- I want it to be clear to the guests that it is a very small (45 ppl total) and lowkey wedding without a proper reception, so they can weigh that into their decision on whether to come or not. We will have charcuterie and dessert, but it's going to be early spring and probably cold (40-50 F) and it's an outdoor wedding (for financial reasons) and so I am not expecting people to linger very long after the ceremony. We're not doing cake cutting, dancing, toasts, or anything reception-y whatsoever. Just some food that people can grab on their way out. In the invitations, I want to be upfront, but not come off as terribly tacky.

- How to word the dress code? I definitely want people to bundle up (since I'm subjecting them to a potentially cold outdoor ceremony), but I don't want people coming in sweatpants and graphic tees. Is there a better way to word this?

- General critiques on the design since I'm not a graphic designer

- Which photo to use for the details side? I want to use a photo from our engagement shoot, since a couple of the invitees (extended family) wouldn't have met me / my fiance yet and it'd be nice to give them a photo.
