Wedding Invitation Wording

Getting your Wedding Invitation Wording correct is important.
After all the wedding invitation wording is what relays to the guests the
time and place they are to join you.

Wedding invitation wording needs to be clear. Wedding guests need
to know exactly what portion of your wedding day they are being invited
to. Some wedding invitation wording will state that a guest is invited to
the whole day, ceremony and reception. Some wedding invitation
wording will only state the time of the reception.

There is a certain etiquette that goes along with clear wedding
invitation wording with a church wedding have the more formal wedding
invitation wording. Something along the lines of

Mr & Mrs The Brides Parents
request the honor of
(handwritten name of guest)
at the marriage of their daughter
Brides name
with
Grooms name
at
wedding venue clearly stated
thereafter at
wedding reception venue clearly stated.

If you do not want to hand write all your wedding guests names into
your wedding invitations replacing the handwritten part with the wedding
invitation wording of "request the honor of your presence" is totally fine.

If your wedding is to be at home then your wedding invitation
wording can be slightly less formal with "request the honor of your
presence" replaced with "request the pleasure of your company".

As with the church wedding invitation wording an area can be left
for you to hand write your guests names if you so choose.

If your wedding is to be held at a friend or relations home for
whatever reason then the wedding invitation wording is less formal still.
A simple

The pleasure of your company is requested
at the marriage of
Brides name to Grooms name
on
date and time
at the residence of
friends name
and address.

is all that is required. For obvious reasons weddings held in either
your own home or that of a friend should be acknowledged as soon as
possible. That is something you may want to work into either your
wedding invitation wording or place an additional card in the
envelope.

So long as you stick to the main etiquette points of wedding invitation
wording and you be sure to include all relevent details then you can
really customize what you say in your own wedding invitation
wording.
