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.

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.

Wedding Invitation Wording White Doves

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.
