Modern Wedding Invitation Wording 2nd Marriage




During the Renaissance, only the high class society and its members were educated enough to issue the wedding invitations in written form; this custom was popular only among the wealthy but at the beginning of the twentieth century, people from all social levels adopted this custom, more or less in its early forms.




The wording used in issuing the wedding invitations was formal, with very distinctive templates, but today the wording etiquette is permissive and allows the use of informal language to make the inviting.

Various designs of wedding invitation cards can be found on the internet, where online manufacturers offer a large variety of colorful invitation cards, of all shapes, sizes or patterns; an alternative would be to purchase some personalized wedding invitations if you want some really unique and one-of-a-kind wedding invitations.

Thermography is the cheapest method of printing the invitation text and can create a beautiful effect with its raised letters; the expensive method is the hand written text with some intricate calligraphy styles or letter fonts.

The wedding invitation should contain the necessary and basic information about the wedding ceremony and the reception like the name of the bride and the groom, the name of the wedding hosts or not, the location of the wedding ceremony and reception, the date and time, an RSVP if the attendance responses are highly important for the whole planning of the wedding and some other details you might find useful for your guests.

In these last years, the theme weddings became quite popular so you can also add a suggestion or a hint about the theme for your wedding to your invited guests and how should they dress for such an event; if the location of the ceremony is unknown by most of your guests you can also add a printed map with some directional signs.

Remember that different social situations might require different styles of wording for the wedding invitations; for examples the wording differs if one parents or both parents of the bride or groom are deceased or remarried, if the couple would like to issue the invitations alone, without mentioning the names of the wedding hosts, in normal circumstances being the bride’s parents, etc.

You can add a personal touch to these invitations by writing some personal quotes or verses but with the simple, casual wording you can be sure you will never go wrong, especially if we are referring to a second marriage.

The following casual wording examples are for a better understanding.

“Sarah Glaskell and Andrew Jones request the honour of your presence at their marriage, on Saturday, the twenty eighth of March, two thousand and ten, at ten o’clock in the evening, St. Simon’s Chapel, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.”

“Soon we will be joining together all the hopes for the future and our lives. Please join us as we spend the first of our life together on Saturday, the twenty eighth of March, two thousand and ten, at ten o’clock in the evening, St. Simon’s Chapel, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Sarah Glaskell and Andrew Jones.”

“Jennifer and Nathan invite you to the ceremony that will unite them as sister and brother and that will unite their parents, Sarah Glaskell and Andrew Jones, as wife and husband, on Saturday, the twenty eighth of March, two thousand and ten, at ten o’clock in the evening, St. Simon’s Chapel, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.”

“Some people touch us for a moment and some for a season…and some remain with us for a lifetime. In each other we have found the one with whom we will spend the rest of our lives loving, honoring and cherishing. Please join us in celebrating as we exchange marriage vows, on Saturday, the twenty eighth of March, two thousand and ten, at ten o’clock in the evening, St. Simon’s Chapel, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Sarah Glaskell and Andrew Jones.”

”The pleasure of your company is requested at the marriage uniting Sarah Glaskell and Andrew Jones, on Saturday, the twenty eighth of March, two thousand and ten, at ten o’clock in the evening, St. Simon’s Chapel, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.”
