Weddings in my family are usually smallish, so dancing doesn't last too long. But if there's other things during that time, then I can understand the time frame.
Just leave some energy for afterwards. winkwink. :D

I don't have anything particular to offer on the design other than general points:
One of the benefits of designing your own stationary is having something that fits the theme of the wedding exactly. You can also have a consistent design across all aspects of the stationary and the table plan so you should do this as it will look much better than everything being different. It is as well to try and get rough designs of all items done now so that you can see how the design works across different sizes of paper etc.
The colour of the printing should tie into the colour scheme for the day - eg match it to the bridesmaids' dresses or the flowers.
Instead of a lot of inserts to the invitation, we put a website up with directions, details of nearby hotels etc. You could move the information about parking etc to a website and just have a map of the reception venue.
Are you likely to have people driving from outside London? If so you probably need to help them out a bit more on parking - eg if the wedding is on a week day then the congestion charge apply, how long can you park on the single yellow lines for, how much the car parks cost - this would be a nasty shock for anyone not used to paying for parking in London. I would think about providing directions from the church to the hotel as well - not just 'turn onto Harewood Avenue' but 'Harewood Avenue is the sixth turning after Madame Tussards, you need to be in the right hand lane'. A lot of this area is one way streets so it can get quite stressfull turning around if you miss a turning (speaking from very bitter experience here and I drive through Marylebone a lot - actually I don't think you can turn right into Harwood from Marlybone Road). If everyone is from London however, then leave them to it...
This probably doesn't apply to you but in a traditional British wedding you wouldn't have reply cards - the correct form is for guests to send a handwritten reply on note paper.
And since we are also talking about how long they last, my wedding was at 11am, the reception started at 2pm (they were some distance apart), and the last guests went to bed at 4am the next day.....
