When it comes to wedding invitation etiquette there are many things to consider as well, apart from the wedding preparations as most of the etiquette components falls upon wedding invitations. For wedding invitations etiquette there are various things to consider from the wedding invitation wording, to the addressing and mailing and also the wedding invitation enclosures.

Wedding Invitation Wording

When it comes to wedding invitations etiquette, the wording that you use is important. You can either opt to keep it casual or formal, but regardless of that the proper rules of society and how you word them in a way that sticks to the traditional invitation etiquette stand. An example of standard wedding invitation wording would be;

Mr and Mrs Peter Bates

——————————-

at the marriage of their daughter

Samantha Evelyn

Jason George McDonald

This wedding invitation wording which is one made available at DreamDay Invitations on its online system allows you to sift through the options and also customise accordingly and will be proofed by professionals to ensure that etiquette is maintained.

Wedding Invitation Addressing & Mailing

When addressing your wedding invitation, etiquette would mainly involve how you address the invitees in terms of title. For example, based on the relationship status and if the couple if married whether the wife is using her husband’s last name and also on their professional titles. If they are a married couple, then the option of addressing them as ‘Mr and Mrs” is fine, but however, if the wife has a different surname or has a title different to that of the husband then her name would appear first, in the form of ‘Dr. Jane Carter and Mr. Joe Smith’.

Wedding Invitation Enclosures

When it comes down to wedding invitation enclosures, what we mean here are the wedding invitation accessories that accompany your invite to the wedding. These include the likes of the reply card, the directions and accommodations card which would include a map and also possible accommodation options for out-of-towners. This is considered good etiquette as it allows you to be considerate of people who wouldn’t normally know where to stay especially if they are not from the parts you are from. DreamDay Invitations offers the options of pocket wedding invitations that facilitate etiquette in manner in a neat and tidy way.

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
at the marriage of their daughter
{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.

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

A wedding invitation can be anything from the traditional paper card, to a wedding invitation with a modern unique twist using a variety of interesting materials. With the changing world, more and more couples are looking towards modern ways of inviting their guests to their own very special wedding celebration. The great thing about adding your own ideas to your Modern wedding invitations is that DreamDay Invitations, with its unique, technically advanced online system, gives you the capability of doing this and much more from your own home.

There are many ways you add can that modern touch to your wedding invitations, from a modern theme, or with your modern day wedding invitation wording, or the style and shape you choose. There are many components when it comes to the invitation wording, from deciding on the host, that is, who will be hosting and paying for the ceremony and reception, to the greeting, how you address your invitees, and how the invitation itself will look.

The actual wedding hosts can vary from the bride’s family, to the groom’s family, and even the bride and groom themselves. However, if other family relations would like to offer their help in hosting the wedding, then they can do so, and they can be mentioned specially within in the modern wedding invitation wording. DreamDay Invitations online ordering and editing process offers an option to include the addition of whoever will be hosting the wedding celebration and inviting the guest to join them.

Also included are some beautiful romantic quotations located in unused areas of the card. The greeting in itself can be anything you want it to be. This verse can be anything from a poem, to a quotation extract, a favourite heartfelt saying, a vow or anything that comes to mind that may be relevant when coming up with a modern wedding invitation wording.

When addressing the invitees, you can make it less formal than the customary and traditional wedding invitation wording. You can opt out of the traditional titles (Mr, Mrs, Miss etc) and refer to the invitees via their first names and surnames only and so forth. As there are basically no set rules in how to write and construct your modern wedding invitation wording, you can make it up as you go, in a way that sounds pleasing to you and gives the ambience you are looking for.

Some examples of modern wedding invitation wordings are given below in order for you to see how they can be worded.

Glen & Tess Capulet would be delighted to have you join them celebrate the marriage of their daughter
Daniella & Andy and their families invite you to their wedding on …
Vincent and Pat Montague request the pleasure of your company to celebrate the marriage….
Juliet Capulet & Romeo Montague would be delighted to have you join them to celebrate their wedding
Peter and Mary are getting married! Join us to share our day and celebrate in a style we all know and love.

Or you can add your own twist in words, with a modern feel and ambience, giving your modern wedding invitations you own personality and giving your guests a glimpse of what lies ahead for a very unique and special wedding event.

Wishing Well Cards to include with your Wedding Invitations

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

You’re getting married and beginning a new life together. Maybe you already have an extensive glory box in which you have many of the goods you will need to set up a new home, or maybe you have had your own place for quite a while now. A gift of cash for a deposit on a new home, or cash for your honeymoon, or maybe you are passionate for a particular charity and wish your gifts to be a donation to your favourite charity, whatever the reason, a Wishing Well card is perfect answer to make it known to your guests your preference for money when it comes to your wedding gifts.
Dreamday Invitations has designed a Wishing Well card to match and team with every Wedding Invitation design available. Our Wishing Well cards also have the ability to become a Gift Registry card on the reverse side. All Wishing Well wording can be replaced and edited on either side to leave messages, or information on anything you might wish to say.

Pictured above are Wishing well cards in ‘Pearl Destiny’, ‘Velvet Petals’, ‘Rose Bouquet’, and ‘Harmony’.

Wishing Well cards are usually sent out with your Wedding Invitations. They are generally included on a separate card within the Wedding Invitation envelope. It is sometimes considered not to be appropriate etiquette to include your wishing well words on the actual wedding invitations.
There are many eloquent and beautiful verses available that have been specially created just for Wishing Well cards, or make up your own, as long as the words reflect your own personality and style, and give your guests the necessary information as to gift giving.

We have given some lovely examples of Wishing Well wording for use on your Wishing Well cards here for you.

If you were thinking of giving a gift
to help us on our way,
a gift of cash towards our house,
would really make our day.
However, if you prefer to purchase a gift,
feel free to surprise us in your own way.

Many of our guests have enquired
for a gift idea to be inspired.
Like many young couples today,
we have a lot of things anyway.
If you would like to give, it is our request,
for something for our treasure chest.
A gift of money you can afford,
is just what we need, you can be assured!
Without the help of this little pun,
our honeymoon might not be as much fun.

To save you looking, shopping or buying,
here is an idea, we hope you like trying.
Come to our wedding, to wish us both well,
and bring a small sack, to throw in our wishing well.
Fill it with paper all colours will do,
gold is our favourite but silver will do.
Now that we have saved you, all of that fuss,
We hope you will come, and celebrate with us.

Soon you will hear our wedding bells,
as Friends and family wish us well.
Our household treasures are not brand new,
we have twice the things we need for two.
Since we have our share of dishes and bedding,
we’re having instead a wishing well wedding.
But more important we ask of you,
your prayers of love and blessings too!

To support us on our special day, you may wish to follow with tradition
and bring a gift. Or alternatively, you may like to help us make our
honeymoon a little more special. For this reason we have chosen
a wedding wishing well. The wishing well will be at our wedding reception
if you wish to participate.

Dreamday Invitations – helping you make your Dreamday come true.

Using Colour as an Accent in your Wedding.

Monday, February 8th, 2010

The colour theme you choose for your wedding is a very personal choice and can be carried across many aspects of your wedding day, including your wedding invitations, bridesmaids dresses, floral bouquets and reception decor.
Colour trends can change from year to year, season to season. For example over the past few years trends have leaned towards the soft greens and white, lilacs and soft mauve tones with purple, lemon yellows and oranges or pastel pinks and peachy colours for summer and spring and deepened into mustards and various shades of brown from mocha, to chocolate for the cooler months.
Now the trend has exploded into brighter fresher colours, bolder colours that stand out of the crowd! Hot Pinks, bright aqua’s, tiffany blue and coral pinks and most certainly classic black and white.
Colour will be the dominant feature of your wedding décor. It will dictate the look of your wedding party attire, it will reign in your bridal flowers, it will sway your reception décor, and will influence your wedding invitations, so make it beautiful, make it special, make it yours. Be inventive and venture out to colours that at first thought are out of the question, but with careful consideration could make a spectacular vision for your wedding day décor. Pictured here are ‘Cupid’s Kiss’, ‘Enchanted Wave’. and ‘Maui Dream’ designs from DreamDay Wedding Invitations.
