Wedding Etiquette





How to Word Your Wedding Invitation


With today's complex family structures and new models of marriage, deciding how to word a wedding invitation (or reply card or save the date card) can be daunting. Gone are the days when the bride's parents hosted the wedding and therefore issued the invitation. Today, invitations are issued by a variety of parties: from the couple themselves to one or more of the parents (who may be divorced, remarried, widowed, etc.).

Gone, too, are the days when there was only one accepted way to word a wedding invitation. Many invitations today are more informal or emotive, and that is perfectly fine.

Regardless of what wording you choose, just remember to make sure that guests have all the pertinent information, including:

• Who: Couple's names
• What: The wedding
• When: Date and time
• Where: Ceremony location and reception location, if different from the wedding ceremony

A map or directions card is also recommended, as well as a list of any weekend events, if applicable.
