Wedding Invitation Wording
Wording your wedding invitations is slightly more complex if traditional wording can not be used - for example, parents may be separated, divorced, re-married or widowed Or you as the Bride and Groom may want to invite your guests from yourselves. You can make the wording as formal or in-formal as you wish. Including examples for Civil Partnership wording.
Wedding and Evening invitations can also be adapted to suit the format you have chosen for your day invitations.
I have a few examples of wording you could use (or you can decide your own wording to use) and some alternatives if any of the traditional wording cannot be used. The RSVP address and date would be added below the wording given.
