Invitation Wording Ideas

Wedding invitation wording doesn’t have to be stuffy. If you and your fiancé are funding Wedding Invitation Wordingyour own wedding then the wording on the invitation is solely up to you two. If parents are contributing, it is best to ask if they would like to be included on the invitation. If both sets are divorced and re-married, and the lists of parent’s names is longer than the invitation itself, then it might be OK to say “Along with their parents”. When in doubt, ask your invitation specialist for advice and they can help you come up with something that pleases everyone.

Here are several examples to choose from or be inspired by.
