    • ‘would love ‘guest name’ to be a part of the celebration…’
    • ‘ask ‘guest name’ to join us for the union of…’
    • ‘invite ‘guest name’ to share in the joy of the marriage of…’
    • ‘ask ‘guest name’ to be present at the ceremony uniting…’
    • ‘invite ‘guest name’ to be with us at the wedding of…’
    • ‘invite ‘guest name’ to witness the nuptials of…’
    • ‘please join our families on the occasion of the marriage of…’
