Wedding Invitation Wording From Bride And Groom’s Parents

For a starter, know that you can purchase the wedding invitations from online manufacturers and the great advantage is not only that the come cheap, but also in a wide variety of designs so you can find some rather unique and one-of-a-kind wedding invitation cards.

The wedding invitations come in an overwhelming variety of designs, patterns, color combinations, shapes and sizes so, unless you already know what you want, choosing the perfect wedding invitation to announce such an important event might prove quite difficult, especially for the inexperienced.

To issue the invitation you can always use the formal wording, based on an old wording etiquette for the wedding invitations, or the simple and unconventional language, using your own words to express the inviting.

The wedding invitation should always contain pertinent and the basic information about the wedding ceremony and reception: the names of the bride and groom, the names of the wedding hosts, the location, date and time of the wedding.

Other details about the reception following the ceremony are also useful for your guests; add the address, the name of the reception location, the time and date, a printed map and some directional signs; let your guests know if your wedding has a theme and make a suggestion about what should they wear for such an event, and the list could go on.

The RSVP ought to be written on the invitation card or on a separate one if the couple finds it necessary to receive an attendance response; if you are waiting only for the non-attendance responses you just have to write the expression “Regrets only”.

In most of the cases, the parents of the bride act as the wedding hosts because they pay for the wedding so they have to issue the wedding invitations. For the non-traditional invitations you can choose not to mention the names of the wedding hosts, the invitations being issued only by the bride and groom.

In some situations, both parents of the bride and groom make a financial contribution to the planning and organizing of the wedding, so in this case the wedding invitations are issued by both the bride and groom’s parents.

Our main interest in this article is the wording used for such a situation, so, for a better understanding, below you may find some wording examples if the bride and groom’s parents are inviting.
