Samples of Wedding Invitation Wording - Bride and Groom Inviting
March 2, 2010
One of the most important steps in the process of ordering your wedding invitations is writing the wedding invitation wording.
Formal wedding invitations must follow proper wedding invitation etiquette and should include the following:
- Bride and Grooms full names (including middle names)
- Day and date of the wedding
- The year should be written out on the next line following the date
- Time of the wedding
- Location of the wedding (formal wedding invitations usually just include the name of the church or building, while less formal or casual wedding invitations might also include the street address)
- City and State (do not include zip code)
Those are the essentials, the things that you absolutely MUST include in your wedding invitation wording. Other than that, you can be very creative with the rest of the wording. However, your wedding invitation wording will vary based on several factors like:
- Who is doing the inviting. (Bride’s parents, Bride’s and Groom’s parents, Bride and Groom, Children of Bride and Groom, etc.)
- If the Bride’s or Groom’s parents are deceased
- If the Bride’s or Groom’s parents are divorced
- If it is a second (or third or fourth) marriage
- If the wedding is being held in a Church or at a Home or other non-church location
Here are some samples of wedding invitation wording where the Bride and Groom are doing the inviting:
