 Wedding Invitations

Wedding invitations can be made by word of mouth, by telephone, or by email. The objective is to make sure that guests know who, what, when, and where of the wedding. Wedding invitations convey the formality and tone of your event through the formality of the paper, letter font, and style; the more formal your wedding, the more formal the wedding invitations.  

Traditionally the parents of the bride would host their daughter’s wedding, however these days, many couples are paying for the wedding costs in half. So it is correct to choose wedding invitations that will suggest who is considered the host, although, it is not incorrect to use the traditional style out of respect for their parents and tradition.

RSVP

For less formal weddings, the phrase: “is requested at the marriage of” could be changed to “invite you to the wedding of.” It may begin with “Please join us to celebrate” or “We hope you will join us” just to name a few.

ADDRESS

Traditional address for married couple

• *This is the best method to inform your guest that their children are invited.
• Children are listed by age, older to younger.
• Children over the age of 18 should be sent their own invitation.
• Children are not mentioned on outer envelope. 

A couple who live together, but have different last names:

• If the couple is married, there would be an “and” between the names on the outer envelope
• Names are written in alphabetical order—gender is not an issue.

Siblings or other adults living at the same address

• List names alphabetically.
• Unmarried females can be listed as Ms. or Miss.
• Divorced women can be listed as Ms. or Mrs.
• All men over the age of 18 should be addressed as Mr.

Married woman using a professional title

• The ‘and’ is not used on the outer envelope.
• If they are both doctors, the outer and inner envelopes would read, The Doctors Maurice.
