Wedding invitations should be according to some Etiquette, no matter how informal the wedding is. Observing the etiquette can save lots of misapprehend that can be avoided. Actually, by following the rules and small nuances of what most people think about, you set the stage for other relationships in the future.
No matter you are holding a simple wedding in your yard or a well selected place, the appropriate wording on your wedding invitation is picky in making the stage for a well arranged occasion.
It is not only applied to invite the special in your life, it is also used to inform. No matter it is a second marriage, or the adult only occasion, the wedding invitation makes that distinct.
Write out all names to the envelopes.
Contain reply cards and preaddressed envelopes, so that it will allow you to plan for the proper number of guests.
If it is the event special for adults, only address to the adults for the household. It is wrong to say “no children” or “adults only” in the wording.
Send one invitation for each household unless adult children after eighteen also live at the same address.
Speck all words rather than use abbreviations, containing Road, Street, and Avenue.
For weddings held in a not religious setting, you can say “request the pleasure of your company.” For weddings held in a worship, write “requests the honour of your presence.”
At the condition the wedding is held by the couple, just write “Bride’s name and groom’s name request the honour of your presence.”
If the wedding is held by the bride’s parents, their names should be written first then the names of the couple. The parent’s of the groom can be written after the groom’s name, for example: “groom’s name, son of Mr. and Mrs.”
In condition the wedding is held by the bride and groom and their parents, you can write “Bride’s name and Groom’s name, together with their parents” or if the parents are already divorced and remarried, just write “…together with their parents and their spouses”.
If the wedding not that formal, make sure to write so. It is suitable to write “informal attire” in wedding invitation wording in condition like this.
If you do not want your guests to take presents, you can write “Your presence is the only gift we request.”
These are important roles for you to make your wedding better and happier.
