Wedding Invitation Wording
- the proper way to word your wedding invitations

Proper wedding invitation wording is very important. Study the various one used for each situation and venue and see which of these can be used or changed to adapt for your wedding invites.

Note the marital status of the parents or parent; for example, if the parents are divorced and have remarried, etc. Also whether the wedding ceremony is to be conducted within a church or a public place like a restaurant.

Each situation and venue will call for a different set of wordings for your invitations.

Tip!
It is important to check and recheck the wordings for missing information or typo error especially in names, date, time and venue.

Sometime, a fresh set of eyes might be able to spot any mistake quickly.

So do not be in a hurry to print out the words. At least, get someone else to spot-check for you before printing or sending for printing.

Every wedding invitation has at least six essential elements within the wedding invitation words.
They are:

  • the host
  • the request
  • the bride and groom
  • the date and time
  • the location
  • the R.S.V.P
  • the dress code

Below are wedding invite wording examples and guidelines for various situations. So choose any wording for a wedding invitation from the list below.

That will be covered in another page by itself as well as appropriate Scripture verses, wedding or love quotes and other suitable phrases to use in the wedding invitations.
