Wedding Invitations Wording Samples

A wedding invitation is one of the most important aspects of a wedding. Even if you have planned a traditional or a non-traditional wedding, writing and sending formal invitations is a must. In the non-traditional types of weddings, you can be more creative for the wordings used. However, in either of the cases, the structure of the sample is more or the less the same, in formal style.

Etiquette for Wedding Invitation

As mentioned above, whatever may be the theme of the wedding; the invitation wordings are usually formal. Even if you wish to invite only friends and immediate family for the wedding, you need to use formal wording. The following are some etiquette that one needs to follow.

• The name of the hosts is written at the top of the invitation. Usually the parents of the bride are the hosts and same invitations are sent to guests of both the sides. The bride and the groom, themselves, can also be hosts to their own weddings.
• Addressing wedding invitations is the most crucial aspect of the invitation. You should look for the proper titles of the guests and address them accordingly.
• If it is a themed wedding, you need to clearly mention on the invitation about the dress code (for both, men and women).
• Similarly, details about the couple expecting gifts, not expecting gifts, invitation to children, etc. should be mentioned in the invitation. You can find details of those in the following samples.
• Lastly, note that wedding invitations should also be sent to the immediate family (including parents) by post and to other guests as early as 6-8 weeks prior. RSVP is a must and also convenient to the hosts.
