It's for a health clinic and I'm not even a designer. I went with 'Saturday The 20th December'
It's a small knit place and the receptionist always kicks up a fuss about every single thing that I do.

I don't get it. It's what you'd say. Well, it's what I'd say anyway :S
I know grammar doesn't always match up with what you /say/ but I can't imagine ever seeing this anywhere and finding myself thinking "Wow. They are pretty dumb."
- Well, that's good criteria for correct grammar/spelling– ukit21/2
  @kalka: Did you just call yourself dumb?– ORAZAL2/2

There are two ways of looking at this.
1. Do it the right way which yes, as everyone has said is: Saturday, December 20th
2. Do it differently for effect. So just write anything you want: Saturday the 20th of December? Sure, why not. Saturday the 20th day of December?
Whatever man. If it's for a poster, have some fun with it. If it's for your CV, do it properly.
- I got my first one wrong:
  Saturday, 20th December.
  
  Obviously.– Raniator1/2
  Fuck it, whatever, I'm ill.– Raniator2/2

with or without the comma after the Saturday.
Think about it — do people *really* include a ‘the’?

if anyone has membership to the Chicago style manual, we can settle this once and for all.

If you are wondering what the Chicago style manual is, it is a ridiculous compendium of proper grammar and writing structure.
