"Wedding Invitation Wording Samples too help you decide how to word your wedding invitations"

As I have said previously wording for your wedding invitations is one of the most important elements of your wedding, and, in fact, the stationery is the first thing your guests see or receive from you about your wedding, therefore, I have put together these wedding invitation wording samples to help YOU create the wedding of your dreams!

Traditional Wording

The wedding invitation wording sample to the right is quite traditional and is used when the parents are going to be paying for the wedding. The sample of this type of invitation is shown here. Also when using this type of wording you should have the RSVP cards returned to the parents.

Traditional wedding invitations wording can also be used when the parents are going to be paying for the wedding. This type of wedding invitation wording sample is shown here.

Sample - Parents paying for the wedding
Sample - Bride's parents host the wedding
Sample - Parents paying for the wedding
Sample - parents hosting

Sample - Parents remarried paying the wedding
Sample - Bride's parents remarried

The traditional text can be used but the wording would start by saying “Jessica Harris and John Smythe request the honour of your presence at their marriage….”.

Informal Wedding Invitation Wording Samples

If your wedding is going to be less formal, maybe a garden wedding, then you might start out: “With joy in our hearts, Jessica Harris and John Smythe request the pleasure of your presence at their wedding celebration”. This text is shown in the wedding invitation wording sample below.

Sample - The happy couple host
Sample - Bride and Groom
hosting the wedding

Contemporary wedding invitation wording samples

Wording, poems, verses or invitation etiquette for wedding invitations has become more and more difficult to decide how to phrase them. With the growing number of blended families, it is not always the mother and father of the bride paying for the wedding. Therefore, things have changed. For example if the bride and groom are paying for the wedding, but would like to acknowledge a parent or parents on the invitation the wording might start: “Jessica Harris and John Smythe and their parents Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Harris request the pleasure of your presence…” Several different wedding invitation wording samples are shown below to help you decide.

Sample - Bride and Groom paying the wedding
Sample - Previously married Bride and Groom
hosting the wedding
Sample - Bride and Groom hosting the wedding recognizing their parents
Sample - Previously married couple
hosting the wedding
recognizing their parents
Sample - The happy couple and parents host the wedding
Sample - The happy couple and parents
pay for the wedding
