Wedding Invitations

Romantic Wedding Invitation Verses Wording

The formal and traditional language is recommended for the wedding invitations; no wonder we even talk about a wedding invitation wording etiquette. The same etiquette demands for the couple to write only the basic information about their wedding, like the name of the wedding hosts, the names of the bride and groom, the location of the wedding ceremony, the date and time, the RSVP, which can either be written on the wedding invitation card or on a separate one, and to let your guests know if there is an after-party or a wedding reception after the religious ceremony

The RSVP is added only if the attendance response is needed for making the final arrangements for the wedding but you can also add a phone number and the saying “Regrets only”, to receive an answer faster.

The parents of the bride act as the wedding hosts, but this role can also be played by the groom’s parents or by the bride and groom themselves, if they decide to pay for their own wedding.

Even if we are talking about formal or informal wording, using the wrong addressing honorifics or the spelling mistakes can cause some embarrassments with your guests so before mailing out the wedding invitations or sealing them in their envelopes try to read the text once more, with fresh eyes, and ask someone to help you spot the errors in the writing.

The informal or non-traditional wording allows the couple to be inventive and issue the wedding invitations by using their own words; sometimes they can even start the invitation with some favorite poems, quotes or verses, which can be seen as just another personal touch.

Classical and romantic poems or verses, born in the minds of people with genius, can make the perfect choice to start the wedding invitation text. Here are some of the most popular verses used for celebrating this kind of life event:

The merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare

“One half of me is yours, the other half yours-
Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours,
And so all yours!”

strong>When Two People Are One by the I Ching
”When two people are at one
in their inmost hearts
They shatter even the strength of iron
or of bronze
And when two people understand each other
in their inmost hearts
Their words are sweet and strong
like the fragrance of orchids.”

A Mayan wedding poem:

“I know not if the voice of man can reach to the sky,
I know not if the god’s will hear if I pray,
I know not if the gifts I have will all be granted,
I know not what will come to pass in future days,
But I hope only good will come from my love to you.”

“We love with a love that was more than a love.”
by Edgar Allan Poe

“One half of me is yours, the other half yours-
Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours,
And so all yours!”
by William Shakespeare

“Gladly I’ll live in a poor mountain hut,
Spin, sew and till the soil in any weather,
And wash in the cold mountain stream, if but
We dwell together.”

A haiku or Japanese lyric

“Thou art the star that guides me
Along life’s changing sea.
And whate’er fate betides me,
This heart still turns to thee.”
by George P. Morris

Another option would be to use romantic mini-verses at the beginning of the invitation, and here are some examples: “This day I will marry/ my friend, the one who/ shares my dreams”; “One love that/ is shared by two”; “As our marriage/ brings new meaning to love/ so our love/ brings new meaning to life”; “This day/ I will marry my friend/ the one I laugh with, live for,/ dream with, love”; “And the two/ shall become one…”; “ How beautiful is the day/ that is touched by Love”; “To have and to hold/ from this day forward”; “Our life together/ begins this day…”; “For hearing my thoughts,/ understanding my dreams/ and being my best friend…”; “ Our wedding day/ a new life has its start/ We’ll share with each other/ one love, one dream, one heart”; “Love fills the moment/ and the moment begins eternity/ Love fills a lifetime,/ and a lifetime begins this our”; “Two hearts that/ beat as one…”. <
