Wedding Invitations Wording

It is critical to have proper wedding invitations wording, regardless if it is a home wedding, a second marriage or a regular church wedding. Depending on the situation, various etiquette rules have to be followed depending on the kind of wedding that you are planning. You may want only family and friends to join you in church, and you invite the other guests only to the wedding reception. This is pretty common, but the situation raises quite a number of difficulties.

Who is hosting? This is the main aspect that influences wedding invitations wording. It is with the hosts that you need to start the text of the invitation. The people who host are the same who pay for the event. Sometimes, it will be the bride's parents, in other cases the bride and the groom, depending on the situation, while many events are now co-paid. Once the hosts have been introduced, there follows the request for the guests to attend the ceremony. Further, announce the place of worship for the religious ceremony and the location of the reception party.

Various types of wedding invitations wording are possible here.

The hosts:

-'request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their son/daughter';
-'request the pleasure of your company',
-'invite you to join at the celebration',
-'would be delighted for you to attend' etc.

Once these have been mentioned, the happy couple is then introduced. The etiquette has it that the invitation should first announce the bride. Then the groom is listed with both title and middle name. An example here would be: Norma Jackson to Mr. John William Andrew. It is also possible to use a modern alternative that would drop the title and the middle name. It all depends on what you want to achieve and what kind of wedding invitations wording best suits you.

A few challenges may arise if you organize the religious ceremony in one place and the reception party on a different location because you'll have to write more or create two separate invitations, depending on the case. Consider everything carefully, and you can talk to the wedding planner in order to come up with the most convenient and artistic solution when you have a more peculiar type of invitations in mind.

Some Internet guides could help you with wedding invitations wording, helping you sort out the problem of the etiquette when you are facing some kind of difficulty.
