Wedding Invitation
Wording Tips & Ideas
- The parents paying for the wedding are
the ones issuing the invitation. So their names would be on the
invitation. The other parents names are optional.
- When addressing a wedding invitation to a widow, send it using her
husband's name, such as Mrs. Tom Miller. The
inside envelope would be addressed to your guest, such as Aunt
Lynn. If your elderly guest does not have a title, such as "aunt,"
you can address the inner envelope to Mrs. Miller.
-
Children's names are not written on the outside of the envelope, but
they are written on the inside envelope if you want them to attend.
If you want to include them on the outside, address the envelope
to Mr. and Mrs. Husband's Name and Family.
-
Sealing each of the outside envelopes
with a wax seal, is a wonderful and quaint enhancement to the
invitation.
-
Everything is centered except the
favour of a reply is requested.
When the mother has remarried
If the mother of the bride has remarried, and the bride wishes to
include her stepfather on the invitation, the following wording is used
(this wording assumes that the mother uses her new husband's name):
Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Adam Waters
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of her daughter
Ann Katherine Saunders
Ceremony Invitation with Reception Card
Mr. and Mrs. Steve Albert Saunders
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughter
Linda Ann
to
Mr. Michael Matthew Miller
on Saturday, the twenty-third of March
at one o'clock in the afternoon
Our Lady of Perpetual Hope
Bangor, Maine
Reception Card:
Reception
immediately following the ceremony
128 N. Main St.
Bangor, Maine
The favor of a reply is requested
Note: if the ceremony is a religious
one, the honor of your presence is requested. If the ceremony
is a civil one, the pleasure of your company is requested.
Divorced parents hosting the wedding
This example assumes that the mother has remarried and is using her
new husband's name, though it could just as well be used if she had
reverted to her maiden name, continued to use her former husband's name,
or whatever (some people also include the bride's last name in this
form, to avoid any possible confusion. Some people also omit the and
between the parents' names):
Mrs. Jonathan Adam Waters
and
Mr. Steve Albert Saunders
request the pleasure of your company
at the wedding of their daughter
Linda Ann
One or both of the parents might also be hosting the wedding
with their current spouse. In that case, the invitation might look like:
Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Adam Waters
and
Mr. and Mrs. Steve Albert Saunders
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of
Linda Ann Saunders
A parent is deceased
There is no reason why the living parent cannot host the wedding by
themselves, which is the same as if one divorced parent hosts the
wedding. This would be worded as:
Mr. Steve Albert Saunders
requests the honor of your presence
at the marriage of his daughter
Linda Ann
However, the deceased parent may be mentioned using the
following form. Note that the deceased parent may not host the wedding.
Linda Ann Saunders
daughter of Margaret Elizabeth Saunders and the late Steve Albert Saunders
and
Michael Matthew Miller
son of Mr. and Mrs. James Michael Miller
request the honor of your presence
at their marriage
The couple is hosting the wedding themselves
The honor of your presence
is requested at the marriage of
Miss Linda Ann Saunders
to
Mr. Michael Matthew Miller
or (the titles "Miss" and "Mr." may also
be used here):
Linda Ann Saunders
and
Michael Matthew Miller
request the honor of your presence
at their marriage
Both sets of parents are hosting the
wedding
Mr. and Mrs. Steve Albert Saunders
and
Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel James Miller
request the pleasure of your company
at the marriage of their children
Linda Ann Saunders
and
Mr. Michael Matthew Miller
Double Wedding
The older sister's name is listed first:
Mr. and Mrs. Steve Albert Saunders
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of their daughters
Linda Ann
to
Mr. Michael Matthew Miller
and
Ann Katherine
to
Mr. Thomas Samuel Clark
on Saturday, the twenty-third of March
at one o'clock in the afternoon
