When wording wedding invitations, clarity and etiquette are key. Here are some important considerations to ensure your guests are well-informed:
1. Host Line: Start with who is hosting the wedding. Traditionally, it's the parents of the bride, but modern invitations can include both sets of parents, the couple themselves, or other hosts.
- Example: "Mr. and Barton request the honor of your presence..."
2. Request Line: This line indicates the request for the guests' presence.
- Formal: "request the honor of your presence" (typically for ceremonies in a house of worship)
- Informal: "invite you to celebrate" or "invite you to join"
3. Couple's Names: Include the full names of the couple getting married.
- Example: "...at the marriage of their daughter, Britney Anne, to Caleb Cole Barton..."
4. Date and Time: Clearly state the date and time of the ceremony.
- Example: "Tuesday, the twenty-third of September, two thousand twenty-four, at three o'clock in the afternoon"
5. Venue Information: Provide the name and address of the ceremony and reception locations.
- Example: "Cashion First Baptist Church, 18750 SH-74F
Cashion, OKlahoma 73016
6. Reception Details: If the reception is at a different location, include those details.
- Example: "Reception to follow at Rustic Rose Barn, 8560 S MacArthur Blvd, Guthrie, Oklahoma 73044.
7. Dress Code: Mention the dress code if applicable.
- Example: "Black tie", "Casual attire", or specific dress code information.
8. RSVP Information: Clearly state how and when to RSVP.
- Example: "Please RSVP by July 30th to rsvp@wedding.com or 123-456-7890"
9. Additional Information: If you have a wedding website or need to convey additional details (like no children, or accommodation info), include that separately or on an insert.
- Example: "For more details, please visit www.CalebAndBritneyWedding.com"
