When you're preparing for a wedding, there are tons of details to take care of. You have to choose dresses, cake flavors, limo services, and more. Wedding invitations are one of those tasks as well. Creating these cards can be a challenge for couples because the wording is going to be seen and read by so many important people in their lives. They don't want to make any mistakes. Remember you always have to keep wedding etiquette in mind as you are working on your wedding invitations wording. Below are some examples that might help you as you write your own cards.
Wedding Invitations for a Formal Event
Traditional church weddings are one of the most common types of marriage events. When you are having this type of ceremony, you want to be sure that the invitation wording matches the theme and tone of the event. That means you'll want something more traditional. The two examples below illustrate how to handle the wording. One adjustment you need to make is to accommodate the names of the people paying the bill. The first example illustrates how to handle the customary covering of the costs by the bride's parents. The second is an example of how to write the wording if both sets of parents are sharing the costs.
Example 1:
Mr. and Mrs. John Kenneth Youngrequest the honor of your presenceat the marriage of their daughter
Kayli MorganandMr. Matthew Henry

Casual Wedding Wording
In other cases, you won't need to be quite so formal. Casual weddings that are held outdoors, have fewer guests, are paid for by the couple, or are not a first ceremony for both parties should be a little more relaxed. The following examples of wedding invitations wordings will give you a good idea of how to handle this more informal events as well. Again, feel free to use them on your wedding invitation.

Wedding Invitation Advice
Remember that you will be sending the response/RSVP information on a separate card if you are sending out formal invitations. However, if you are going to be doing more casual wedding invitations wording then you can add that information directly to the card itself.
