The wording on your Wedding Invitations is a crucial part of the invitation and it is generally considered etiquette to name the hosting party first. For example, are the Bride and Groom only paying for, and hosting their own wedding?
In this case, traditionally only the Bride and Groom names will be mentioned on the invitation.
DreamDay invitations has many examples of wordings to use on their wedding invitations.
Such as this example that follows,
Samantha Evelyn Bates
And
Jason Henry McDonald
request the pleasure of the company of
Noelene and George Miller
on the occasion of their marriage
to be celebrated at
4.30pm at
St.Annes Anglican Church
38 St George’s Rd
Terrigal, NSW
on
Saturday 25th September, 2010
and afterwards at
Forest Glen Reception Centre
225 St Georges Rd
Terrigal, NSW
Dress: Black Tie
R.S.V.P. please by 25th August, 2010
26 City Ave, Sydney, 2000

Pictured above are DreamDay designs ‘Sentimental Moment’, ‘Angelic Moment’, ‘Silk Pom Pom’ and ‘Always Charmed’.
Of course you may like to mention either or both sets of parents along with the Bride and Groom names if everyone is helping to pay the bills. Such as:
Samantha Evelyn Bates
and
Jason Henry McDonald
together with their parents
Janice and Peter Bates
and
Joy and David McDonald
would love to invite
Noelene and Mark Waters
to the celebration of their marriage…
Simply switch or leave out the names as required. Whether you choose to use your parents first names instead of Mr and Mrs is entirely your choice. It depends on how formal and traditional you wish to be. Ask your parents how they would like to be referred to before printing your invitations and no one will be offended.
Another example of wording the invitation from the bride and groom that mentions parents who are not hosting the wedding is as follows;
Samantha Evelyn Bates
daughter of Janice and Peter Bates
and Jason Henry McDonald
son of Joy and David McDonald
cordially invite
Noelene and Mark Waters
to attend their wedding…
Mentioning a deceased parent is also an option as follows,
Samantha Evelyn Bates
daughter of Mrs Janice Bates (and the late Mr Peter Bates)
and Jason Henry McDonald
cordially invite…
