Wedding Invitation Wording Examples

Listed below is variety of wedding invitation wording examples. By tradition, wedding invitation text is written in the third person, rather than we or you. The host of the wedding should request the pleasure of their company. T

he wedding invitation format should also include relevant information such as who is marrying whom, where the ceremony is to take place and when. The invitations should also ask for a reply, usually this is done by using RSVP (a French term which means Reply if you please).

In the below wedding invitation wording examples the date and times have been made in numerical form.

If you wish the invitations to be of a more formal nature spell out the dates and times (for example 6 pm would be six o'clock, the year 2005 would be Two thousand and five), also spell out words such as street which are commonly abbreviated.

Never use nicknames or short versions of names and titles. For example write Doctor John Wilkinson and not Dr John Wilkinson and Alan Jones Junior and not Alan Jones Jr. Always use the correct spelling for the country that you live in for example in Australia Honour, in America Honor.

Don't use punctuation marks except for commas after the day of the week and between city and state names.

Do give the guests an idea of what to wear on the invitations by making indications such as formal attire required, casual affair, black tie.

Listed below are some wedding invitation wording examples that should cover almost any situation.
