Wedding Invitations

Wedding Invitation Wording Second Marriage

The custom of sending wedding invitations may be as old as the human race, and the simple wedding invitations from the past are replaced by a wide variety of designs, patterns or color combination, with engraved, printed or intricate hand written calligraphy, just to make the those invitations look special or unique.

You can be sure that if you make them yourself, they will be unique and one-of a kind, especially if you are confident of your creativity and artistic skills and if you don’t lack patience or time.

Simple as it can be put, with the help of the wedding invitations you can announce your wedding day.

Design is important because usually the appearance makes something stand out among others, but let us not forget about what is really important about a wedding invitation and that being the information about the wedding.

The addressing formulas and the use of formal language are so important that we even talk about a wording etiquette for the wedding invitations, especially when we are referring to a second marriage, so both partners or just one of them already has the experience of how to plan or organize a wedding.

The invitation should contain pertinent information about the wedding such as the name of the bride and groom, the bride’s name being mentioned first, the location of the ceremony, date and time. In normal circumstances, the parents of the bride act as the wedding hosts, but if the future bride or groom or both have children of old age, the invitation can be issued by their children.

Other informational details about the wedding which can be included on the invitations are the directional signs for the location of the ceremony or even a printed map, the RSVP, being a phone number or written on a separate card, information about the after-party or the reception such as the address and time; you can also make some suggestions about how should your guests dress if you are having a theme wedding party.

Before sealing them in their double or single envelopes and mail them out, make sure to read a couple of times the text of the wedding invitation, always with fresh eyes, to spot any spelling mistakes.

Below are some wording examples for the wedding invitations used for a second marriage.

The simpler: “Elizabeth Jones and Henry Stone request the honour of your presence at their marriage, on Saturday, the twenty eighth of June, two thousand and ten, at six o’clock in the evening, St. Simon’s Church, Baton   Rouge, Louisiana.”

“Sara Levinne invites you to the wedding celebration of her mother and soon-to-be stepfather, Elizabeth Jones and Henry Stone, on Saturday, the twenty eighth of June, two thousand and ten, at six o’clock in the evening, St. Simon’s Church, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.”

“Sara Levinne and Timothy Stone, invite you the ceremony that will make them sister and brother, as their parents, Elizabeth Jones and Henry Stone, unite as one in marriage, on Saturday, the twenty eighth of June, two thousand and ten, at six o’clock in the evening, St. Simon’s Church, 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 June, two thousand and ten, at six o’clock in the evening, St. Simon’s Church, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Elizabeth Jones and Henry Stone.”

“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.
