Wedding Invitation Card Wording Samples:
You have chosen your invitation design, now you may be wondering, "what is proper wedding invitation card wording idea?"
In the past there were definite etiquette rules concerning the way invitations were written.
While modern couples are creating themed informal and fun invitations, you can’t go wrong with the tried and true wording which is timeless.
If the bride’s parents are hosting the wedding their names would be first on the invitation card:
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Stevens request the honor of your company at the marriage of their daughter Julia Catherine to Anthony Joseph De Marco time, day, date at St. Martin’s Episcopal Church street address city, state and zip code
Traditionally the only acceptable abbreviations were Mr. and Mrs. and Saint(ST.) and Mount(MT.). However automatic readers used by the post office may not recognize Louisiana and delivery of your invitations could be delayed. Use the formal full wording for the invitation if you choose, and the abbreviations on the outside envelopes.
If both sets of parents are paying for (hosting) the wedding use this form:
Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Singer and Mr. and Mrs. David Stien request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their children Hannah Eliza Singer and David Stien II on day, date, time place street address city, state and zip code
Many modern couples are choosing to pay for their wedding themselves so they would be considered the hosts and the invitation would be worded:
Hanna Eliza Singer and David Stien II etc.
If the couple wishes to honor their parents they might add:
Together with our parents Bride’s parents and Groom’s parents etc.
