With tradition comes great knowledge and insight, and also the beauty of a bygone era still lives on through you and your system of values, because you believe in the same things many wise men and women did too. It is not about being called old fashioned, it is truly only about valuing something that you believe are right and good, and no matter who says otherwise, you know in your heart that it is beautiful way of life. It’s a great thing to use when you have something important coming up, like for example with vintage wedding invitations for your special day.

As a traditional person, and one who embraces culture, vintage is something you might find a strong kinship to. Called “Treasures of the past”, items of vintage value are loved and reflect your lives in many ways. In a city that has many old buildings, you will find traces of architecture that are old and beautifully crafted and like so, it lives on. However, in these changing times and new trends coming your way, you might find it hard to hold on to some elements, but with the likes of vintage you are able to stay true to yourself.

How to Word Wedding Invitations

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

Your wedding day is probably the most important day of your adult life, and together, you and your fiancé will be embarking on a journey to last the rest of your life, knowing in your heart that he or she is the right one for you, in heart, body and soul. With such strong emotion surrounding this joyous occasion, it’s only right that you word your wedding invitation in a special way that conveys this most important information to all your guests.

When it comes to wording your wedding invitations, it also important to make sure that correct wedding etiquette and courtesy is observed at all costs. How is your wedding invitations etiquette broken down? Well, it involves certain areas which include the wedding invitation wording, addressing the invitees, including the RSVP details, and of course when the wedding invitations should be sent out. However, in this installment, we shall look into how a wedding invitation should be worded.

When it comes to wording wedding invitations, DreamDay Invitations know a thing or two on this subject. Since a wedding is a formal event, especially if you are hosting in a hall or a ballroom, then the due respect must be paid to this momentous occasion and that can be implied via the wording of the invite.

{The Bride’s Parents}
and
{The Groom’s Parents}
invite you to witness
the union of their families as
{The Bride}
and
{The Groom}
are joined in marriage

on {Date}
at {Time}

{Venue}

Some things are meant to be..
The honour of your presence
is requested as
{The Bride}
and
{The Groom}
are joined in marriage
on {Date}
at {Time}

{Venue}

{The Bride’s Parents}
request the honour of your presence

{The Bride}
to
{The Groom}
son of
{The Groom’s Parents}

on {Date}
at {Time}

{Venue}

{The Groom’s Parents}

request the honour of your presence
at the marriage of their son
{The Groom}
to
{The Bride}
daughter of {The Bride’s Parents}
on {Date}
at {Time}

{Venue}

The above examples of invitation wording for your wedding include that of the bride’s and groom’s parents inviting, the bride and groom inviting, the bride’s parents inviting and the groom’s parents inviting respectively. These are also examples of how a wedding invitation should be worded, in an elegant manner adhering to etiquette standards. Things like spelling out numbers which are lower in value to that of twenty, and making sure that when if you are inviting a couple where the wife has kept her maiden name, her name should be mentioned before that of the husband. This also applied if the wife has a title and should be joined with that of the husband with an “and” in the manner “Dr. Jane Smith and Mr. John Smith are cordially invited…” These are some of the ways in which invitation wording etiquette can be used to invite your guests to your wedding.

DreamDay Invitations recommends you start sending out your wedding invitations at least 8 to 6 weeks before the wedding, and also after hosting your engagement party, to ensure that if you are hosting an engagement event, invitations do not get mixed up and to avoid confusing your guests. By sending the wedding invites out in that time period, your invites have enough time to make sure that they will keep that day saved for your wedding and make sure other arrangements are also carried out if accommodation is necessary. Also, this gives them enough time to RSVP back to the couple with their conformation or their condolences. Like so, DreamDay Invitations suggests you make sure that you leave enough time for the above mentioned, you wouldn’t want to be disappointed.
