Some Pointers for Invitation Card Wordings

Wordings
True, marriage is a ceremony where all your family and friends, get together to witness the bonding of two people in love. But, this ceremony is still a formal event and no matter how close those people are to you, the wordings are generally preferred to be conventional. It is safer to follow the proper wedding invitation etiquette in order to avoid hurting anybody's sentiments.

Whom to Invite
Make it clear as to whom you want to invite. If it's a wedding where you want the whole family to come, then mention the word 'family' in the card. However, nowadays the relationships between family members have become quite complicated. You might not know how to include the names of divorced couples, living-in couples, foster parents, step-parents etc. in the card. Therefore, it is best to stick to their formal names and simply write down the names of all those people whom you like to invite. Every sentence in the wedding invitation should be an individual line. Avoid writing commas in between a line unless you are mentioning the time and the date.

Be Creative; Use Handmade Cards
The marriage invitation wordings to invite friends should be such that it should give the guests a vague idea as to what to look forward to in the ceremony. Let your creative juices flow and come up with something great and exciting as well as original. If you want, you can also use some handmade cards instead of readymade ones for the invitation. These cards are good for adding your personal touch and imply that you will be pleased to have the company of your guests on your very important day.

Names of Bride and Groom
Mention the name of the bride and the groom and also note down the names of their parents. Use some words like 'honor of your presence' or maybe 'request the pleasure of your company', in your invitation card, as they are sure to impress the receivers. If the wedding is being paid by the groom or bride's parents, then the wedding invite should be written from their point of view. After mentioning the names of bride's parents, there is no need for writing the surname of the bride. On the other hand, if the groom's parents are hosting the wedding, writing the surname of the bride is a must.

When and Where
Mention the venue, the time and the date of the wedding. If you are not really keen on getting fancy presents from your family and friends, you can write ''no boxed gifts' instead of 'only cash gifts'. Marriage invitation card should reflect the style and preference of the bride and groom. If you are having a wedding which is a far cry from a traditional wedding, then there is no need to stick to the conventional etiquette of marriage invitation.
