night or nite?

Hello
I've made a card primarily for the market in the USA,
should I spell the time after dark  
night  or  nite?
Thanks
Angela

I would think that Night would be the correct one to use.

Thanks for such a prompt reply Cathy.
I have spelled it night, as I would in the UK, but I  
wasn't sure that spelling applied in the USA.
It will save me having to change it.

Hey Angela,
 
In the U.S. Nite is just an informal spelling of Night and either is accepted in the written form, especially in the arts.
