French Help!

I have this project (In French 1) where we have to make an invitation to a party. We have to include "Who, What, When, What Time, and Why"

Here's what mine looks like:

Qui: Pierre
Oú: Pierre maison (Is that how you say "Peter's House", if not how)
Quand: Deux février (February 2nd - right?)
A Quelle Heure: Six heures vingt-cinq (6:25 if Im not mistaken)
Pourqoui: Mon anniversaire (Is that the correct way to say "my birthday"?)

Basically, this language confuses me, but I need this proofed - that would be good.

Hi, and welcome! Corrections indicated in bold.

Qui: Pierre
Oú: chez Pierre
Quand: le 2 février
À quelle heure: Six heures vingt-cinq (6:25 if Im not mistaken)*
Pourquoi: Mon anniversaire

*Okay, working with a 12-hour system, that is quite correct, although it generally is written out as 6h25. However, at least here in Quebec, we (at least most of the time in writing) work with 24 hours. Basically just add 12 to the hour for PM, and there you have it. So here it would be "Dix-huit heures vingt-cinq", or 18h25.

In France, the 12-hour clock is almost never used. I've never actually seen it in use.
