What Are The Proper Wordings For A Wedding Invitation?
Generally speaking, the host of a wedding and/or reception is the person or persons who are paying for it. Traditionally, this would be the bride’s parents, which is why the traditional wedding invitation is worded: Mr. And Mrs. John Smith request the honour of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Jane Marie to Kyle Alvin son of Mr. And Mrs. Theodore Chipmunk on Saturday, the twentieth of February Two thousand and ten…. However, these days many couples are hosting (and paying for!) their own weddings, and the invitation wordings reflect that. For example: Jane Marie Smith and Kyle Alvin Chipmunk request the honour of your presence at their marriage on Saturday, the twentieth of February Two thousand and ten…. There are, of course, many variations on these wordings. I strongly recommend visiting this page: www.weddingcentre-wi.com, which includes links to wording examples and tips for many occasions.
