You have picked out your wedding invites and have all the details carefully chosen. Now you need to provide your stationer with the actual invitation wording. How do you do this? This collection of wording options is a great place to begin. Use this resource as a starting point to find the perfect way to announce your big day! Traditional, contemporary or a bit of both, this is where you have a chance to express yourself. Maybe there is a quote from a favourite author or perhaps a chorus in a love song that means so much? Do you prefer simple, no fuss? In this case, less is more, perfect for truly modern invites (think more white space (designers love this). Regardless of what you choose, always be sure to include a few key items:
Who's hosting (read: paying)
If one or more of the parents are paying for the majority of the wedding, they go ahead of the bride and groom. If the bride and groom are hosting, their names go before the parents.
If everyone is contributing then, feel free to do what you like here.
If your wedding is more traditional with the Bride's Parents hosting, then they go first followed by the Bride and Groom, then the Groom's parents.
