Wording Ideas
for Your Invitations
Many brides and grooms no longer have the traditional situation
of the bride's mother and father funding and hosting the entire
wedding. In many cases, the bride and groom pays for their own wedding,
there is a deceased parent, a step-parent, or many contributors
and hosts to the wedding.
These unique situations create interesting dilemmas for how to phrase
the wording on your wedding invitations. In this article, we'll
look at few samples and provide you with great resources covering
practically any situation you can think of.
1. Couple Hosts the Wedding
In some cases it's easiest for the couple to simply host and
pay for the wedding. This is especially true with couples
getting married in their late 20s, 30s, and second marriages.
Here's a sample wording for this situation.
Love isn't love 'til you give it away
. . .
We, NAME and NAME,
will be married in a
private wedding ceremony
on DATE
You are joyfully invited to an
informal
outdoor wedding celebration
after the wedding at TIME
ADDRESS
CITY, STATE
2. Couple with Children
Many couples getting married already have children from previous
marriages or children of their own. You can use the wording
in your invitations to make sure they have a special place
in the day!
BRIDE and
GROOM together with their children
are happy to announce
their marriage
on DAY
YEAR
CITY, STATE
Please join them
for a celebration
on DAY

TIME
LOCATION
CITY, STATE
3. Groom's Parents Inviting
It is not uncommon for the groom's parents to host a wedding.
There are many reasons why this might be the situation, for
example if the bride has lost her parents.
GROOM'S PARENTS request the honour of your
presence
at the marriage of
BRIDE to their son
GROOM on DAY
YEAR at TIME
LOCATION
CITY, STATE
