Wedding Invitations
Any wedding couple should take great pride in the wedding invitations they send to their friends and families. Choosing the right invitation can be quite a lengthy process as one needs to consider the wedding’s theme, the colour, style and most importantly the phrasing of the invitation. A wedding invitation is more than just a nice looking card it; should portray the style of the wedding, the bridal couple’s names and depending on the family set-up include their parents’ names as well.
Your wedding invitation can be sent a number ways to your guests which include:
- The bride’s parents inviting.
- The bride and groom’s parents inviting.
- The bride and groom inviting.
These are all formal methods of invitations, each one with their own unique phrasing.
A formal wedding invitation is perfect when the wedding ceremony takes place in a place of worship. Below is a basic checklist that will help you formulate a formal invitation along with the necessary etiquette.
- Write a general reason why you are inviting your guests.
- Include the names of the bridal couple.
- Write the date of the ceremony without abbreviating the day or month.
- Include the location of the ceremony.
Informal wedding invitations require a different writing style as you only need to inform your guests who are getting married and the location of the wedding. You can write as you wish including abbreviations. Because the wording style of the invitation is relaxed your guests will understand that it is a more of a relaxed wedding. Invitation etiquette is not as important with an informal wedding as it is with a formal wedding invitation.
Another way of phrasing a wedding invitation is to include both the bride and the groom’s names along with their parents’ names. This is especially popular amongst younger bridal couples and creates a tone of excitement for the marriage of the parents’ son and daughter.
