Your Wedding Invitation WordingIt's easy to forget about your wedding invitation wording when you're concentrating on so many other things to do with your wedding. There are so many different options: formal, informal, traditional or modern. Getting it right can be daunting, but it doesn't have to be. This article covers what you should write for your wording and what you need to insert into the wedding invitation. For a more traditional, formal invite, there are different etiquettes depending on the type of invite (ceremony and reception or evening only), who the hosts are and the degree of formality you wish to use. It's up to you which you choose and the examples below can be adapted to suit your needs. You'll also need to provide your guests with additional information such as ceremony details, reception details, dress code, accommodation, gift list information, maps and directions. Of course, you can go completely the opposite and use everyday language, a poem or rhyme to inform your guests about the wedding. As long as they can get all the information they need about the wedding, this is fine. Whichever you choose, the simplest and most cost effective way is to do them yourself on a computer using a word processing package. Once you're happy with your insert, check it, check it again, get someone else with fresh eyes to check it and then save a master copy. Some examples of wedding invitation wording: Option 1: Formal wedding invitation wording Mr and Mrs Simon Smith request the pleasure of "name of guest" at the marriage of their daughter Sarah Jane to Mr Alex Brown on Saturday 12th June 2006 at St Michael's Church, Wimbledon, London and reception afterwards at Howard's Hotel, Wimbledon, London Carriages at 11pm RSVP by 15th April ****** Option 2: Alternative You are cordially invited to the marriage of Miss Sarah Jane Smith to Mr Alex Brown on Saturday 12th June 2006 at St Michael's Church, Wimbledon, London and reception afterwards at Howard's Hotel, Wimbledon, London Carriages at 11pm RSVP by 15th April ****** Option 3: Modern A more modern approach is to have the happy couple invite the guest, simply because these days, it’s often the bride and groom who pay for wedding. You can also use more informal language like 'would like to join them as they celebrate their love' or 'would be delighted for you to share in their special day'. Sarah and Michael are celebrating their love and would be delighted to have "name of guest" join them on Saturday 12th June 2006 at St Michael's Church, Wimbledon, London and reception afterwards for drinks and nibbles at Howard's Hotel, Wimbledon, London RSVP by 15th April ******  Check your master copy for spelling errors, especially names of the venues and dates. When you're happy print this out, photocopy it however many times you need (include extras for any mistakes later on) and then write the invitees by hand on each one. The inner can then be glued into the centre of the invite, tied in with ribbon or secured with a brad or eyelet. The rest of the information can also be typed up, printed out onto A4, folded and then inserted into the invite before being sealing in the envelope.
