Hi Clare,
In Velocity, what approaches it is [$date.full_date]. If you want to take the more customized approach, take a look at this and adjust where you need to.
#set ( $dateObj = $date.toDate("yyyy-MM-dd", $Opportunity.DateField ) )
#set ( $Day = $date.format("d", $dateObj) )
#if ( $Day == "1" || "21" || "31" )
#set ( $!Day = "${DelDay}st" )
#elseif ( $Day == "2" || "22" )
#set ( $!Day = "${DelDay}nd" )
#elseif ( $Day == "3" || "23" )
#set ( $!Day = "${DelDay}rd" )
#else
#set ( $!Day ="${DelDay}th" )
#end
#set ( $Weekday = $date.format("E", $dateObj) )
#set ( $Month = $date.format("MMMMM", $dateObj) )
#set ( $Year = $date.format("yyyy", $dateObj) )
#end
Then just run the order you want. You might need to remove a few M's from the Month variable to get to Nov.
Monday, Nov. 30th, 2015.
${Weekday}, ${Month}. ${Day}, ${Year}.
Let me know if that works for you.
