I\u2019m going to cut right to the chase on this one.\u00a0 Trust me, you don\u2019t want people to look at your wedding invitations and either laugh or be baffled by the wording. You also don\u2019t want to put yourself through the torture of coming up with your own wedding invitation wording from scratch.\u00a0 Sure, you can go really casual and just wing it, put whatever you want on the invitation and do what feels right.\u00a0 That\u2019s a great way to go if you\u2019re really free-spirited, you\u2019re having a totally non-traditional wedding and you\u2019re either not going to get, or don\u2019t care if you get, unsolicited advice and input from family and friends.\u00a0 But let\u2019s face it; this isn\u2019t an invitation to a barbeque party or a kegger at the frat house.<\/p>\n
This is your wedding.\u00a0 It\u2019s your big day and something you\u2019re going to remember \u2013 in one way or another \u2013 for the rest of your life.\u00a0 A wedding is special and in our society weddings have had several centuries of being special to build up a unique set of traditions and expectations.\u00a0 Yes, it is your wedding and no one is trying to tell you to give in to the whims of your great aunt or future in-laws (although telling them to go pound sand will likely reduce the quality of the gift you get\u00a0 – just a thought).\u00a0 But what I am saying is take the advice of someone who uses words for a living; there\u2019s no need to completely reinvent the wheel with the wording of your wedding invitations.\u00a0 That trail has been blazed before, so put the efforts of those who came before you to work, save yourself some hassle, and have a wedding invitation that reads like it\u2019s supposed to!<\/p>\n
So just how is a wedding invitation supposed to be worded you ask?\u00a0 Well that actually depends on your situation.\u00a0 If it was still 1955 and all weddings were hosted by the parents of the bride none of this would really be an issue; everyone\u2019s invitation wording would be the same except for names, places and dates.\u00a0 However today\u2019s weddings, even those that you\u2019d consider traditional, have so much variation that you\u2019ll likely need more than one example of wedding invitation wording to set you on the correct path.\u00a0 We\u2019ve rounded up a collection of wording examples for a variety of different kinds of wedding situations.\u00a0 you\u2019ll find not only the traditional invitation from dear old mom and dad, but also wording for invitations from the bride and groom, from both sets of parents, from divorced parents and even wording suggestions for destination wedding invitations.<\/p>\n
Remember these are suggestions to get you started out on the right track and help you rest assured that the wording you picked for your invitations is proper.\u00a0 But there\u2019s nothing wrong with tweaking them to make them your own and fit your situation.\u00a0 We\u2019ll keep adding more examples for more types of weddings as we go.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t see one that you think we should have, let us know and we\u2019ll see what we can come up with!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
