Let's See Invitations!

[BayBug]

Fotini, those are great invites! I really like them. Nice and original.

Question for you ladies out there. Did anyone do a formal invite with the wording?

 

Mr. and Mrs. John Smith

invite you to joining them in the marriage of their daughter (example)

 

I was looking at my parents invites and realized that I did not do that type of wording. I just put my name and my FI name. I hope that is okay. My wedding is not that formal. So I am trying to stick with casual writing.

When I took my wedding planner course, we were told that you only put your parents name on the invite if they are paying for the wedding. If they are not, you just put your own on.

right - we are saying "Ann & Paul, together with their families, invite you ..."

 

we wanted to mention families, but since we're paying, we weren't going to say that the parents were inviting. ya know? it's more about who is "hosting" the event

[LCBride2007]

Actually, here is the wording we think we're going to use ...

 

 

Because you have shared in our lives

with your friendship and love, we

Ann Kathleen XXXXXX

and

Paul Michael XXXXXX

 

together with our parents

invite you to share the beginning of our new life together when we exchange marriage vows

on Friday, the eighth of June

blah, blah, blah
